V-City

Financed by the European Union within the FP7, the V-CITY project aims at restoring cities in 3D and allows interaction and navigation inward the layout.

Partner with the consortium, Immersion’s objective is to develop new interfaces allowing navigation within these environments. The first developers notably based their work on adapting multitouch tactile technologies to urban 3D environments applications.

Missions

La principale mission d’Immersion a été de concevoir et fournir la table V-City Map. Cette table fournit pour la première fois une surface multitouch et multi-utilisateurs affichant une vue stéréoscopique de l’environnement adaptée à chaque utilisateur. La table V-City Map est conçue comme une interface stéréoscopique multitouch et multi-utilisateurs permettant à la fois la visualisation et l’interaction avec les données urbaines massives affichées par le V-City Explorer. Elle devait répondre à des contraintes spécifiques telles que l’affichage en temps réel de données 3D, la manipulation et l’édition intuitives et efficaces du contenu, ainsi que fournir des capacités de visualisation collaborative. Deux technologies ont été identifiées : l’équipement de visualisation 3D immersive et l’entrée tactile multitouch. Elles ont été réunies dans la table cartographique V-City.
