Application of Virtual Reality Technology in Civil Engineering

Abstract:

The virtual construction is achieved in the virtual environment, and the virtual reality technology is the core technology in the virtual construction system. The virtual reality technology is a high-tech information technology which integrates the artificial intelligence, the computer graphics, the man-machine interface technology, multi-media industrial architecture technology, the network technology, the electronics technology and the mechanical technology. The technology aims to utilize computer hardware, software and various sensors to create a virtual environment integrating vision, hearing, touch and smelling, which makes users immersive in the environment. The operators are immersive in the environment and interact with it, obtain sensory stimulation through various media, and gain clear and intuitional understanding of the problems to be solved.
