Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project will integrate previously independent state of the art Virtual Reality (VR), Telepresence (TP), and mobile video telecommunications technologies. VR involves the impression of participating in a computer generated synthetic environment, TP the impression of being present at a remote real world location.A mobile, real-time, 3D hybrid VR/TP system will be built which will permit the use to integrate telepresence images with computer generated virtual images superimposed over the remote real world view. this integrated system will incorporate emerging mobile telecommunications technologies to give rapid and easy access to the real and virtual construction sites from arbitrary locations.The project will therefore research, develop, build, test and critically analyse the performance of a prototype mobile hybrid VR/TP system for use on constructor sites. This system will allow remote surveillance of the construction site, and integration of real world images of the site with virtual reality representations, derived from planning models, for progress monitoring. It will act as an exemplar for applications in other industries.
