Three-Dimensional Interactive Virtualization of University Buildings and Spaces

Abstract

The environment around us provides a wealth of information. Why not bring it virtually to our screen and interact with it? Through the project at hand, real scenes created virtually by computer are provided with additional data, obtaining a browsable virtual environment, which allows managing and cycling through all spaces and university aspects respectively. The aim is to facilitate access to university facilities by using a web application and providing a simulated spatial view of the physical reality, as if we were actually there, providing users with any kind of difficulty (disability, language skills etc.), an accessible interaction with the ULL. Furthermore, you can explore the different elements and spaces of the ULL to know, among others, the status, capacity, security or facilities and to contact or to access educational materials; in turn providing them with an interactive character of consultation and / or management of services and resources.
