Project for compact EV vehicle sharing system using VR
simulation
TOYOTA Motor
Corporation. |
|
|
| This is an agenda which is being worked on as an
initiative in the transportation (traffic) part of the low-carbon dioxide
society system demonstration project in Toyota city. The vehicles and parking /
battery charging station are placed in a virtual town modeled with high degree
of realism based on the field survey, which is being used for verifying and
confirming the basic service plan such as the fusion of EV and its station with
the original town, procedure of vehicle reservation and its return and the
design of traffic line etc. |

Simulation for a landscaping plan using point cloud
data
Kyushu-orient Servey&Design Co., Ltd.
|
|
|
| This VR data has been
created based on the point cloud data collected by the company's own
technology as part of the renovation project on Teramachi street and
its surroundings in Nagasaki. The proposal consists of narrowing of
road lanes to force traffic to slow down, widening of sidewalk, laying
down stone pavement on top of the sidewalk, building road barriers,
changing the color of power pole to brown, and lighting up stone walls.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
View of VR data in which the virtual environment is represented
via point cloud can
be switched from the current situation to the plan instantly by running
a script. Lighting-up in Tera Machi can also be confirmed
visually. When operating manually,
you can select how you want to switch the view of point cloud VR data or the lighting according to the
context. |

Simulation for pipe plant facility
Kusakabe Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd. |
|
|
| The company sells plant equipments mainly to
their clients oversea. Because plant equipments come in all sizes, when they are
combined to form one big plant, it may look entirely different from what is
shown on the company brochure depending on what combination of equipments are
used. UC-win/Road was the perfect answer. By creating a VR data of the finished
plant, they were not only able to get a much better picture of its size but also
confirm the operation of the machineries within the plant, thus helping them
confirm the size and other details of deliverables before they are
built. |
