基于Leap Motion与Unity 3D的虚拟天文实验室构建

Construction of Virtual Astronomy Lab Based on Leap Motion and Unity 3D

虚拟现实技术的快速发展和体感设备的不断更新为教育提供了新灵感。基于太阳系行星及其运动规律,结合Leap Motion设备和Unity 3D开发环境完成虚拟天文实验室的构建。在介绍虚拟实验室场景和实验室定义的一系列控制角色移动和场景切换的手势后,展示根据自行定义手势完成的沉浸式太阳系漫游过程,为虚拟现实技术在教育领域的应用提供有意义的探索。

The rapid development of virtual reality technology and the continuous updating of somatosensory devices have provided new inspiration for education.In order to provide a more vivid presentation of the solar system of the planets and their laws of motion,this article combines the Leap Motion device and the Unity 3D development environment to complete the construction of a virtual astronomy laboratory.The virtual laboratory scene,a series of laboratory-defined gestures to control the role of mobile and scene switching gestures are introduced;the immersive solar roaming process is completed by self-defined gestures,which provides a very meaningful exploration in modern education with the technology of virtual reality.
