Abstract
In recent years, the spread of VR technology has led to using VR environments composed of 3D CG models in various fields. For example, in medical and nursing care, VR is used in surgical simulations and navigation systems that utilize 3D data from CT/MRI images, etc. Because VR environments can reproduce matters that would not usually occur, simulation-based work support and training support have been widely used. However, these systems cannot produce the same situation as in the past. However, in many cases, these systems use images taken in advance, and certain limitations exist in reproducing an accurate site’s realism. Furthermore, simulations that proceed according to predetermined scenarios are required in education and training, as training in the workplace.
Therefore, this study aims to construct a VR environment using 3D models and to build a training and education support system using this environment. The issues to be addressed include the study of methods for accurately measuring user behavior and the presentation of the VR environment. In addition, to reproduce a sense of realism, it is necessary to produce a VR environment and interaction system that allows the user to experience fear and other sensations in the same way as in the actual situation. This paper introduces examples of VR environments and describes the results of essential evaluations.
