Real Time Augmented Reality Animation - ARVISCOPE

Occlusion Handling Experiments

 

A short video clip of several occlusion handling experiments in Augmented Reality conducted at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). In each experiment, a virtual CAD object was occluded by a real object in the augmented scene. Depth values for all real and virtual objects were obtained and used in ARVISCOPE environment to detect which object(s) are closer to the observer of the scene and hence should be drawn last at each animation frame. All models were simulated in a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) tool and the animation trace file and the visualization were done in ARVISCOPE Augmented Reality environment.

Real Time Augmented Reality Animation - ARVISCOPE

Smart Traffic Intersection Example

 

A short video clip of an outdoor Augmented Reality animation conducted at the University of Michigan

(Ann Arbor). This video is an animation of a traffic intersection. The operation consists of a virtual and a real

car approaching the intersection from two different directions. In first part, the virtual car yields to the real car

and crosses the intersection only after the real car is gone. In second case, the real car waits for the virtual car

to cross before it enters the intersection. This is a simple example of virtual and real object interaction in AR in

which both real and virtual objects are aware of each other's location. The model was simulated in a Discrete

Event Simulation (DES) tool and the animation trace file and the visualization were done in ARVISCOPE

Augmented Reality environment.

Simple Earthmoving Example

 

A short video clip of an outdoor Augmented Reality animation conducted at the University of Michigan

(Ann Arbor). This video is an animation of a simple earthmoving operation. The operation consists of an

excavator which loads two haulers. The haulers dump the soil at a distant location and return to the loading

area. The model was simulated in a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) tool and the animation trace file and

the visualization were done in ARVISCOPE Augmented Reality environment.

Steel Structure Erection Example

 

A short video clip of an outdoor Augmented Reality animation conducted at the University of Michigan

(Ann Arbor). This video is an animation of a steel structure erection operation. The operation consists

of a tower crane which picks and places a number of beam and column sections on top of concrete

foundations to build a steel structure. The model was simulated in a Discrete Event Simulation (DES)

tool and the animation trace file and the visualization were done in ARVISCOPE Augmented Reality

environment.

Offshore Concrete Delivery Example

 

A short video clip of an outdoor Augmented Reality animation conducted at the University of Michigan

(Ann Arbor). This video is an animation of an offshore concrete delivery operation. The operation consists

of two barges each carrying a concrete mixer truck from a location on the shore to an offshore pier on

which the concrete is to be placed. The model was simulated in a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) tool and

the animation trace file and the visualization were done in ARVISCOPE Augmented Reality environment.
