虚拟现实是通过计算机模拟现实生活场景,给人以"身临其境"的感觉。将虚拟现实技术引入"数字校园"中,使位于各地的人们不必亲临现场,便可实现虚拟校园漫游,只需在网上就能了解校园的情况。本文在分析虚拟现实技术国内外发展及应用的基础上,以西南交通大学犀浦校区为例,基于WebGL技术构建虚拟校园的原型漫游系统,在浏览器端无须安装任何插件即可进行加载与显示。研究成果普适性和迁移性较好,对网络虚拟现实技术的应用有较高的参考价值。
Virtual reality is a computer simulation of real- life scenarios,which offers a feeling of " virtual reality". The introduction of virtual reality technology into " Digital Campus" provides people located all around with a virtual environment of a campus to travel in instead of visit to the place in the real world. And people can see the basic situation of a campus through the Internet when the roaming of virtual campus is realized. Based on the analyses of virtual reality technology at home and abroad,a prototype of the virtual campus roaming system based on Web GL technology is built on the development and application to Xipu campus of Southwest Jiaotong University in the browser without any plug- ins. The result of this research is universal and easy to be transplanted,which is a valuable benchmark for the application of network virtual reality technology.
