3DUPB - The Mixed Reality Campus: A glimpse at how mixed reality systems can shape the future
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Mixing concepts and techniques coming from 3D MMO games, virtual reality, mixed reality and ubiquitous computing, the 3DUPB project challenges the traditional ways of our daily activities and interaction. În a few words, as a computer system, it can be described as "3D MMO Virtual and Real-Time Replica of the POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest campus". However, tightly integrated with the educaţional, social and organizaţional life of the university, 3DUPB will be more than just a computer system and will open new possibilities for human activity and interaction, a glimpse at how mixed reality systems can shape the future. This paper describes the main reasons while 3D UPB was started, its up to date concept, relation with other systems, the basic software architecture, the main technical issues and solutions, as well as the perspectives.
