Application of VR o VR for Engineering Design o VR for Architecture o VR for Science o VR for Scientific Visualization

VR for Engineering  Mainly use in mechanical, civil, electrical, aeronautical and space engineering  To simulate material to be use in a construction/prototypes before failure, based on data of materials using computer aided simulation.

VR for Engineering  Enable to simulate a complex and accurate design to ensure safety.  Implemented before actual construction/production.

VR for Engineering  To translate from traditional drawing …

VR for Engineering to more quicker design and modification

VR for Engineering In Civil Works Each beam is design including material properties, concrete grade, wire grade before failure or degradation CAD/CAM enable beam design like this to be tested whether it will fail or not under certain weight applied.

VR for Engineering In Mechanical engineering Each colors represent different aspect of design to test any changes is Force is applied. This enables engineer to detect type of failures due to fatigue, shear and stress about material used in the design

VR for Engineering  Advantages Cut cost Save time Easy modification Error free design save human faulty

VR for Architecture  To convey your design ideas.  From digital photos or blueprints  A fully navigable “ walkthrough ” of the 3D model can be created  Interior and outer design and construction

VR for Architecture  General process A series of digital photos are taken. Then they ’ re stitched together and imported into a VR software - QuickTime VR software. Panorama is then mapped onto a cylinder that can be viewed or panned 360 degrees. Add texture mapping, lighting and reflection.

VR for Architecture  Interior design  Arrangement of furniture or decorative to be applied in a room  modeled to convey a particular look or motif without changing the room size

VR for Architecture  Superstructure design  To know whether the desired housing plan can fit into a certain place or location.  Later involves in construction. (the room is not constructed yet)

VR for architecture  Advantages If client has a change of mind, the models can be easily updated. Modification is quick and at low cost - wall color and molding textures Better understand how the layout will look To spot potential problems before they arise.

VR for Architecture

 Other purposes  Institutions such as museums, art galleries, amusement parks, schools, etc have used CDs to distribute virtual tours for advertising or education.

VR for Science  Many different type of field, such as in factories, medical, education, astronomy, marine science and etc.  To monitor systems, project possible outcome, complex calculations, display real time status on working machines

VR for Science  Tool for presenting scientific information  Mathematical calculations to simulate heat pattern, waves pattern etc. using 3D representation.  In medical field, can be use for remote surgical operations.

VR for Science

VR for scientific Visualization  Visualization  process of representing data as images that can help understand the meaning of a set of large data  Scientific visualization  is the use of data-driven computer graphics to aid in the understanding of scientific information

VR for Scientific Visualization  - process of selecting and combining appropriate graphical representations and packaging this information in understandable presentations  Virtual reality for scientific visualization/large data-set visualization  - virtual reality allows a set of large data to be converted into graphics, to give new insights and understanding to that particular data.
