APPLICATIONS OF VIRTUAL REALITY TO CIVIL AND ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technology to simulate the real world on the computer and is being applied to many fields of industries like Civil and Architectural Engineering (CAE). The uses of Virtual Reality not only make us transverse the time and space to feel a planning project but also avoid a design miss and have project-related persons a quickly under-standing on any complex project. As the development of computer technology of software and hardware, VR shows a great perspective and will be widely applied to engineering projects. In this paper we will first introduce some VR knowledge and its properties as a computer program system, and then present the relative problems in civil engineering field, finally give some examples of the VR applications from project discussion to constructional process preview, from traffic flow simulation to predicted disaster demonstration in CAE fields by our VR tool of UC-win/Road.
