This paper presents a feasible approach for modeling and locating of assembly\disassembly tools in the virtual scene: First, a novel point-vector model for tool is presented by means of abstracting the locating constraints of tools; Then, the mapping relationship for locating constraints between tools and parts is detailed; Finally, the best matching constraints algorithm is proposed on basis of point-vector model, which can calculate the locating constraints to the triangle model of part in real time. The proposed method has been integrated in the virtual assembly system to solve practical assembly problems.

This paper introduces an alternative teaching model in a virtual architectural design studio, its application, impacts and constraints. This model aims for achieving collaborative learning through facilitating students to Inhabit, Design, Construct and Evaluate (IDCE) their designs collaboratively in a multi-user real-time 3D virtual environment platform (Activeworlds). The application of this model in virtual design studio (VDS) teaching has favorably impacted students' motivation for active, creative and explorative learning, social dynamics between studio participants. It also fostered learning electronic communication, collaboration techniques and etiquette in addition to design technology. The model assisted in developing collaborative experience and shared responsibility. However, there are some drawbacks of the virtual environment platform that hindered having a responsive design environment to users' needs with especially in modeling and rate of viewing. The advantages and constraints of applying the IDCE teaching model in a multi-user real-time 3D virtual environment for first year students at the University of Sydney are addressed in this paper.

Camera placement in a virtual environment consists of positioning and orienting a 3D virtual camera so as to respect a set of visual or cinematographic properties defined by the user. Carrying out this task is difficult in practice. Indeed, the user has a clear vision of the result he wants to obtain in terms of the arrangement of the objects in the image. In this chapter, the authors identify three areas of research that are relatively little covered by the literature dedicated to camera placement and which nevertheless appear essential. On the one hand, existing approaches offer little flexibility in both solving and describing a problem in terms of visual properties, especially when it has no solution. They propose a flexible solution method which computes the set of solutions, maximizing the satisfaction of the properties of the problem, whether it is over constrained or not. On the other hand, the existing methods calculate only one solution, even when the problem has several classes of equivalent solutions in terms of satisfaction of properties. They introduce the method of semantic volumes which computes the set of classes of semantically equivalent solutions and proposes a representative of each of them to the user. Finally, the problem of occlusion, although essential in the transmission of information, is little addressed by the community. Consequently, they present a new method of taking into account occlusion in dynamic real-time environments.

This paper introduced the laboratory model of Real-time monitor system based on the 3D Visualization for calefaction furnace, depicted the process of the model.In this paper we created a virtual environment and transport the real-time data which we collected from the locale to the virtual scene,to realize the real time monitor on the real environment.Through simulating in the lab,the effect of this system was realistic at the same time it arrived at the goal of better monitoring with better real-time.

Virtual heritage is able to provide visual aesthetics, real-time navigation and interaction to impress and entertain users. This article describes the design and development of three dimensional (3D) virtual heritage to view and navigate the 3D representation of Malay traditional house which is rare to be found today. The Virtual Traditional House allows flexible exploration with real-time navigation in order for users to walkthrough the 3D reconstruction of the house while viewing relevant historical information at certain parts of the house. The process of design and development of Virtual Traditional House is outlined and points of particular importance are explained. The article discusses the preliminary results of user evaluation for Virtual Traditional House. Future work includes extensive user evaluation and to what extend user may absorb the historical information surfaced around the virtual environment.
