Abstract
There are many studies to incorporate virtual reality technology into agricultural education. Interest in virtual reality is increasing not only for direct education such as agricultural machinery education but also for indirect education using games. A key technology in virtual reality is to model objects to feel as real as they are. Plants grown on a farm are equally affected by the environment of the farm. Plants also have their independent characteristics. In this paper, we propose a method to model plants in three dimensions in NPC form by reflecting these characteristics. The proposed method implements how individual plants reflect common weather and farm characteristics, and their unique characteristics. Implementation results show that the proposed method is simple but expresses the plants very realistically.
