Reality-virtuality fusional campus environment: An online 3D platform based on OpenSimulator

摘要

This paper presents a reality-virtual fusional campus environment. It is an online 3D platform with some aspects of real information merged together. The whole platform is based on OpenSimulator with detailed geo-models to represent the university campus. Some preliminary experiments were done to integrate the realistic information with the virtual campus for making the geo-environment not only with detailed indoor and outdoor models, but also with the real representations of the physical world. The overall motivation is to provide a framework with strong support for reality-virtuality fusional modeling in a collaborative 3D online platform for research purposes.
