Education is playing a greatest role in developing People’s Lives & shaping one’s Personality, It is the key to success, and this is the stage where you learn something that you can use for your everyday life, which is treasured until old age. Now Egypt tries to build a good Technology Infrastructure for more development in the educational Sector, one of these steps is the establishing of the Virtual reality Lab in Computers & Information Faculty/Cairo University to develop the practical Training methods & offer more flexibility & efficiency for Trainees, as it saves time and Resources for both users and university.
Advanced Computer Technology has the chance to implement this Project in partnership with MoyaTech Co. (Distributor of MultiGen-Paradigm) to provide Visual Simulation and Virtual Reality S/W tools, which helps to add life to animated human Characters. Each Character moves realistically, responds to simple commands and travels about the environment as directed, makes seamless transitions and moves naturally, and that enable studying through Reality Simulation.
The Virtual reality Program Consists of a Polarized Glasses & Data Gloves connected to the Computer, based upon proprietary bend sensor and remote tracking technologies, that provides users total intuitive interaction with 3D and virtual environments, such as games, websites and educational software, which enable the trainees to build an image for the educational material & help them how to deal with it, as if they are in factory or museum.
ACT established this Room by many Items:
1-Vega Prime S/W License (Content of VSG,Platform,Classes,Motion Models,Multi Thread,Virtual Texture) , which create 3D Real Time interactive Development Environment.
2-Craetor S/W License (Content of Modeling & Wizards), which make dynamic texture mapping tools, use one 3D object to cut or modify other 3D objects, build automatically texture with user-defined attributes as you build, load, edit & attach Cg programs to OpenFlight files to be used in supporting runtime applications.
3-Vortex (needed for Vega Prime License), which used for simulating land-based vehicles or machines with real-world attributes. Includes rigid-body dynamics, a comprehensive joint library with motors and limits, accurate collision detection and vehicle dynamic. Applications developers can create gears, motors, suspension models, hydraulics, wheel or tracks and other components that when assembled, result in a vehicle or machine that moves and behaves correctly.
4-Di-Guy for Vega Prime, which helps to simulate human characters, assigns behavior and control travel through out the environment.
5-Other H/W Items such as 5DT HMD 800-26, Stereoscopic Monitors, 5DT data Glove 5 Ultra and Crystal Eyes.
ACT has supported 4 Days local Training by MoyaTech.
It is worth mentioning that this is the Second Project for ACT in Virtual reality, the First was in Menofia Uni.
