Internet technology opens up another domain for building future CAD/CAM environment. The environment will be global, network-centric, and spatially distributed. In this paper, we present a new approach to network-centric virtual prototyping (NetVP) in a distributed design environment. The presented approach combines the current virtual assembly modeling and analysis technique with distributed computing and communication technology fur supporting virtual prototyping activities over the network. This paper focuses on interoperability, shape representation, and geometric processing for distributed virtual prototyping. STEP standard and CORBA-based interfaces allow the bi-directional communication between the CAD model and virtual prototyping model, which makes it possible to solve the problems of interoperability, heterogeneity of platforms, and data sharing. STEP AP203 and AP214 are utilized as a means of transferring and sharing product models. In addition, Attributed Abstracted B-rep (AAB) is introduced as 3D shape abstraction for transparent and efficient transmission of 3D models and for the maintenance of naming consistency between CAD models and virtual prototyping models over the network.

As systems become more complex today, verifying the safety of complex systems is becoming increasingly important. However, validation activities using actual systems face limitations in terms of time and cost. To overcome these limitations, the functions, characteristics, and operations of physical assets can be implemented in a virtual environment similar to the real world, allowing for validation through simulations under various scenarios. By performing validation in a virtual environment, iterative tests can be conducted through simulations in a realistic virtual environment without physical models during the conceptual design phase. Tests can also be performed under malfunction conditions or extreme conditions. In this study, we introduce a verification method for railway vehicles in a virtual environment and propose a method of applying virtual verification from a life cycle perspective.

The development of immersive virtual environment (IVE) technologies has allowed for virtual simulations and exploration of architectural spaces before building the facilities. Although various researchers have implemented IVEs to demonstrate their effectiveness, these rigorous methods for evaluation have obtained little attention. For education facilities, learning environments are crucial factors influencing students' academic performance and attention. Previous studies have evaluated the capabilities of spaces in terms of the learning performance of students in actual conditions. However, various spatial features cannot be experienced in real-world situations despite the introduction of IVEs that can validate the learning performance. This study aims to propose a framework to compare learning abilities in real space and identical ones implemented by two different methods: Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. To this end, various cognitive and creativity tests are conducted i.e., N-back, Go/No-go, Spatial working memory updating, and Torrance Test of Creative Thinking-verbal tests. Then, a comparison is conducted to show cognition and creativity between real and virtual experiences.

The primary goal of virtual prototyping is to eliminate the need for fabricating physical prototypes, and to reduce cost and time for developing new products. A virtual prototyping seeks to create a virtual environment where the development of a new model can be flexible as well as rapid, and experiments can be carried out effectively concerning kinematics, dynamics, and control aspects of the model. This paper addresses the virtual environment used for virtual prototyping of a passenger vehicle. It has been developed using the dVISE environment that provides such useful features as actions, events, sounds, and light features. A vehicle model including features, and behaviors is constructed by employing an object-oriented paradigm and contains detailed information about a real-size vehicle. The human model is also implemented not only for visual and reach evaluations of the developed vehicle model, but also for behavioral visualization during a crash test. For the real time driving simulation, a neural network model is incorporated into the virtual environment. The cases of passing bumps with a vehicle are discussed in order to demonstrate the applicability of a set of developed models.

With continued technology innovation in the fields of computer graphics (CG) and virtual reality (VR), digital animated avatars (or virtual humans) are evolving into ones that are more interactive at a suitable location such as museum, airport, and shopping mall. Specially, the form of the avatar (or the virtual human) realistically need to be expressed in a way that matches the users' physical space. In recent many researches, the form of virtual human has been expressed as mixed-reality human (MRH)-the virtual human combines with the physicality as the real part. In this paper, we propose to carry out a study comparing various MRH on co-presence and emotional response in two-typed virtual humans depending on how many actual parts are included: (1) (Level 1) small parts in the virtual human combined virtual components (e.g., the head only) and (2) (Level 2) large parts in the virtual human with the physicality as the real part such as head, arms, and upper body). We report on the implemented results of our virtual humans and experimental results on co-presence and emotional response.

Motion synchronization between developed real and virtual robots for object recognition and target tracking is introduced. ASUS's XTION PRO Live is implemented as a sensor and configured to recognize walls and obstacles, and perceive objects. In order to create virtual reality, Unity 3D is adopted to be associated with the real robot, and the virtual object is controlled by using an input device. A Bluetooth serial communication module is used for wireless communication between the PC and the real robot. The motion information of a virtual object controlled by the user is sent to the robot. Then, the robot moves in the same way as the virtual object according to the motion information. Through motion synchronization, two scenarios, which map the real space and current object information with virtual objects and space, were demonstrated, yielding good agreement between the two spaces.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a new technology that enables humans to communicate with a computer, It allows the user to see, hear, fuel and interact in a three-dimensional virtual world created graphically. Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT), based on this sophisticated technology, has been recently used in the treatment of subjects diagnosed with acrophobia. Acrophobia is a disorder that is characterized by marked anxiety upon exposure to heights, avoidance of heights, and a resulting impairment in functioning. Conventional virtual reality systems for the treatment of acrophobia have limitations, such as overly expensive devices or somewhat unrealistic graphic scenes. The goal of this study is to develop an inexpensive and more realistic virtual environment in which to perform an exposure therapy fur acrophobia. It runs on a personal computer, and a virtual scene ova bunge-jump tower in the middle of a large city. The virtual scenario includes an open tin surrounded by props beside a tower, which allows the patient to feel a sense of heights. The effectiveness of the VR environment was evaluated through the clinical treatment of a subject who was suffering from the fear of heights. Based on pre- and post- questionnaires and subjective comments from the subject. This virtual reality environment proved to be an effective and realistic tool fur the treatment of acrophobia.

This paper presents the effects of a virtual mass on the stability boundary of a virtual spring in the haptic system. A haptic system consists of a haptic device, a sampler, a virtual rigid body and zero-order-hold. The virtual rigid body is modeled as a virtual spring and a virtual mass. According to the virtual mass and the sampling time, the stability boundary of the virtual spring is analyzed through the simulation. As the virtual mass increases, the value of the virtual spring to guarantee the stability gradually increases and then decreases after reaching the maximum value. These simulation results show that the addition of the virtual mass enables to expand the stability boundary of the virtual spring.
