基于虚拟现实技术的山西大学堂建筑复原

Reconstruction of Imperial University of Shanxi Based on Virtual Reality Technology

山西大学堂是山西大学的前身,成立于1902年,与京师大学堂(北京大学)、北洋大学堂(天津大学)同为我国近代最早成立的三所公立大学。然而几经变迁,山西大学堂旧址已经不复存在,这不仅是山西大学,而且也是我国近代高等教育历史的一种遗憾。以已经消失的山西大学堂建筑群为研究对象,基于虚拟现实领域相关技术,对山西大学堂三维复原和漫游的实现过程及关键技术开展研究。在此基础上,三维重现了山西大学堂中西式校门、工科大楼、大礼堂、图书馆、学生宿舍等主要建筑,同时实现了山西大学堂校园的虚拟漫游、立体展示等功能。

Imperial University of Shanxi founded in 1902 was the predecessor of Shanxi University. Along with the Imperial Universities of Peking and Peiyang, Imperial University of Shanxi was one of three earliest established public universities in modem Chinese history. However, after many changes, the former site of Imperial University of Shanxi has vanished except for the Engineering Building, which is a regret for not only the history of Shanxi University, but also the modem Chinese higher education history. Taking the disappeared Imperial University of Shanxi as the object, the approaches and key techniques of 3-D rehabilitation and roaming for Imperial University of Shanxi based on virtu- al reality technology were discussed in this paper. Then, the Gate with western and eastern styles, Engineering Build- ing, Auditorium, Library, Student Hostels and other major buildings of the Imperial University of Shanxi were recon- structed. And some functions such as campus virtual tour, 3-D display were also implemented.
