Developing a web based interactive 3D virtual environment for novel skin measurement instruments

Abstract

3D design and 3D contents are becoming ever so popular in today's technology. The whole world is moving towards the 3D content platform, 3D printers, 3D TV sets, 3D mobiles etc. no exception to that is the web and all things in it. AquaFlux and Epsilon are two of our state of the art skin measurement instruments. Originally developed by our research group as research projects, AquaFlux and Epsilon have now been commercialised and used in more than 70 organisations worldwi de. However, due to the nature of the technologies, they often require on-site intensive training, which is expensive and time-consuming. There is a genuine need for an interactive virtual training environment that users can be trained whenever and wherever they want. This pa per demonstrates the development of a web-based interactive 3D virtual environment for these two skin measurement instruments to serve this demand. The new system contains detailed virtual user manuals, step by step interactive instructions that will direct the users on how to use these two skin measurement devices. The virtual environment will benefit users by giving users a very realistic feel about how these instruments work. VR (Virtual Reality) is an essential technology that will deliver to users the experience and knowledge in this regard.

Epsilon Futuristic Virtual User Environment

“…As a VR creator/developer, it is essential to observe adding other features or elements to enhance the overall experience instead of focusing solely on developing and improving the virtual reality content and any three-dimensional object in it. This could include new and upgraded designs, as well as audio features, which can help to immerse clients even further into the VR experience [13]. After the completion of the primary steps of this study, a new designing emerged, which had a positive impact on the entire measuring process.…”

Building an Online Interactive 3D Virtual World for AquaFlux and Epsilon

“…This paper is an extension of work originally presented in Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET) 2018 [1]. The current research paper presents the development process of a web-based interactive 3D virtual world that illustrates and covers all steps of how AquaFlux and Epsilon operate.…”
