"Mizuki Shigeru Road in Sakaiminato City"
Sakaiminato City |
|
|
A renewal plan of Mizuki Shigeru Road has been promoted in Sakaiminato city.
We created VR for PR and a consensus of the design plan. We generated 3D models from photos of 153 complicated shaped bronze statues, which are the major characters of Mizuki Road. Mystery Forum 2016 held in September, VR Kitaro on Roll of Cotton navigated the city and showed the concrete plan to persons involved and citizens. |
|
|
|
|
Running the script animation "Mizuki Shigeru Road renewal plan", you can view the flow of the largest renewal plan with a narration. Let's go to see 150 bronze statues together with Kitaro riding Roll of cotton.
The animation starts from JR Sakaiminato station and has a lot of sights to be seen such as safe and wide sidewalks expanded at the time that the road became one-way, streets filled with Showa-era atmosphere, each yokai monster zone, the way to Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Hall.
At night when yōkai monsters are most active, they appear as shadow puppets on the road and sidewalks attracting a lot of attention from pedestrians enjoying the walk. |

"Fushimi Technical High School, alma mater that is passed down the generations"
Fushimi Technical High School in Kyoto |
|
|
Fushimi Technical High School and Rakuyo Technical High School have been
integrated and restarted as Kyoto Kogakuin High School this year. Although
a new evening high school will be built in the lot after Fushimi Technical
High School, most part of the school building will be torn down. We have
decided to bring down the current building as 3D data by using the knowledge
and skill about civil engineering that we are learning. |
|
|
|
|
In an animation "Fiscal year 2016", you can see passion of students
who long for their alma mater, innovative idea of reproduction in 3DVR
by using multi-copter, and students flexible ideas and expressions everywhere
in their work.
This data consists of an easy flow of such as background of VR creation, problems and answers, walk-through school introduction, and future usage of VR.
Each structure and landscape inside the school are also reproduced well. You can catch the enthusiasm of the Technical High School students from detailed creation of the building roofs and compressor units by using advantages of UAV characteristics. |

"Education system of rapid evacuation from tsunami"
Akita Industrial Technology Center / Akita University |
|
|
An evacuation education system that we can learn how to escape rapidly from the area where a tsunami is predicted to come following the seabed earthquake.
This system has affinity for residents in Akita city because the cityscape
of inundated areas in the city is created in VR and they can experience
how tsunami flows up to the city. We will utilize this system for enlightenment activities of tsunami prevention in whole Akita prefecture. |
|
|
|
|
Running the animation "Simulation for education of rapid evacuation
from tsunami", you can see the description about an overview of this
system and future vision. It shows the immersion range based on the tsunami
analysis result and reproduces streets familiar to residents in order that
they can feel a sense of crisis closely. This is an education simulation
system that tells residents where and how tsunami comes, gives them an
idea of routes to tsunami refuge buildings when there is no upland, and
urges them to evacuate rapidly. The purpose of this simulation is to establish
an education system that can be utilized for disaster prevention from this
region to the whole area of Akita. |

"Facility planning of a ski field considering user's viewpoint"
Mitsui Consultants Co., Ltd. |
|
|
Using VR efficiently, in a planning of a new ski field, we consider the
change of landscape according to the movement of skier's view. Particularly,
we verified shift of internal scenery whilst skiing by using VR head set
(Oculus). In addition, we planned lighting arrangement in the night; night
skiing and at the time of events like Christmas. |
|
|
|
|
By executing a "script for contest", you can thoroughly enjoy
ski resort sceneries such as the rising sun, daytime landscapes, view from
a ski lift, and the scenery during skiing. Although this is a VR data,
viewers never feel bored with the beauty of a snowy world, charms of ski
like a turn and a feeling of floating, and the fantastic lighting at night. |

"Evacuation training and experiment in the chemical industry precinct by using walking VR simulator"
Korea National Disaster Management Institute (NDMI) |
|
|
VR data of an emergency evacuation plan preparing for chemical spill accident. A walking evacuation in a large data area can be experienced with a HMD. The purpose of this simulation is to make an evacuation plan by examining the evacuation time and the recognition of evacuation signs. This is expected to be utilized to train people living near the chemical industry parks and workers, and to be applied for another evacuation like earthquake and fire. |
|
|
|
|
You can check whole landscape in the camera position 1.
When the script "Fire" is run, fire simulation in chemical factory is displayed, and residents and workers models start to evacuate to 3 safety zones. The scene that ambulances and fire engines rush to the scene of the fire reproduces the actual evacuation plan more realistic. |

A simulation visualizing the work flow of bridge girder construction. A
CAD model was upgraded to a 3D model with movement algorithm assigned to
simulate the work flow of bridge girder construction via overhang construction
technique with construction machine in full motion. Movable steel bars
in 3D pier models are viewable from all angles, which makes this whole
3D VR environment ideal for CIM (Construction Information Modeling). The
3D environment with a completed bridge model can be navigated around to
assess landscape and aesthetics surrounding the bridge or confirm visibility
from driver's perspective. |
|
|
|
|
In an animation "reinforcement construction", a construction
simulation is described as the linkage from CIM support design CAD/3D bar
arrangement. Construction of the bottom of elevated bridge such as a foundation
pile, reinforcing bar erection, concrete placement, and pier construction
can be checked from up close. Another animation "Construction_whole
bridge" is the 4D construction simulation. Separately exported 3D
models have been set up to move, and maintenance vehicles (wagen) carry
out the overhang construction.
After finishing the construction, you can drive on the bridge to check the view from the vehicle. |
