vrHIS

Contents

Real 3D-animation of profile- and hydrological data, stored in HIS'3D^® :

• data control
• visuakization for meetings
• What-if scenarios
• Augmented reality in the field

Data

• River profiles/cross sections (summarized in blocks)
• Length sections
  • e.g. shore lines, flood protection
• Areas
  • e.q. water level, HQ100

Hydroligical applications

• measurement station on real positions
• Colouring accorsing to online data
• Marking the navigable area in rivers with current water level
  • computations from models

Maps

Maps are computed automatically in the area of used data, from WMS- or WMTS-services.

Practical usage

1. select data in the web application
2. donload data package including maps into a VR-device (glasses, phone, computer)
3. take your VR-device
4. select which data to be displayed
5. virtual surfing

3D background

Maps or 3D-scans of the surface offer the background for the 3D-animation.

The surface model is created from

• laserscans (DOM)
• orthophotos
• bathymetry data

automatically in HIS'3D^® .

Tiles in different resolution levels are created (like a 3D WMTS) and offered to the animation. So the complete creation of the model is done within one integrated tool.

Techniques

vrHIS is an extension module to HIS'3D^® and fully integrated. We use the VR-device Gear VR™ together with a Samsung™ Galaxy mobile phone.

Controlling is performed by moving the head (direction of view) and a joystick (position change, adding blocks, areas, maps).

An MS-Windows™ version, controlled by keyboard and mouse or by finger gestures is available, too.
