| summary |
Design plans for buildings must be proposed based on evidence and reviewed through various computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations. The design and simulation results must be presented simultaneously in an easily understandable form, especially for non-experts such as project clients, to facilitate appropriate decision-making. This research proposes a multi-user virtual reality system that simultaneously visualizes 3-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) models of a proposed design and the CAE simulation results. To facilitate discussions among stakeholders toward consensus-building, multiple users can immerse themselves as avatars in the 3DCG models. The position and rotation of each avatar are synchronized in real-time by stream communication through a server. The import and display of the simulation results on the model are also synchronized in real-time by a remote procedure call. A case study demonstrated that multiple users can share the simulation results and the 3DCG model displays of the proposed designs with real-time synchronization. The delay was less than 0.1 second. |
