MMJ 2553 VR for Engineers

14 March 2011

Project 2 – Virtual Reality Project

Tasks

Identify and propose a VR Project for this class. Your proposal should include the following:
 The details of WHAT you intend to do
 Explain the HOW – the way you plan to carry out the project
 WHY – to relate the significance of the project to this class and your area of interest

In carrying out this project, you should emphasize on the REALISM part of computer
graphics i.e. 3D, Lighting, texture mapping. The following ‘advances’ in VR modelling are
required in this project
 Object Modeler – techniques on how to load objects modeled in CAD models such as
.3DS file format into EON Studio environment
 Control and manipulation of your virtual environment (VE) using sensors (mouse,
keyboard, etc).
 Texture mapping – mapping of texture on the 3D models.

As a guide, areas for you to look into can be one of the following:
 Computational Engineering – visualization of structures, fluid mechanics (CFD)
 Computer Aided Design – manufacturing processes, virtual prototyping, layout
design, product visualization, simulators, collaborative virtual environment (CVE)
 Medical Imaging & Visualization
 Data Visualization – weather data, volumetric data, and 3D data.
