Creating 3D web-based game environment using BIM models for virtual on-site visiting of building HVAC systems

A web-based 3D game project was presented in this paper to demonstrate the process of using building information modeling (BIM) to create an interactive 3D on-line \u27Green\u27 training environment. The system architecture, the implementation process and major components of this virtual training environment were discussed. Existing studies on BIM-based collaborations mainly focused on local-file-sharing approach using proprietary applications. Limited research focused on using BIM as an online gaming platform to create a web browser-based interactive 3D virtual environment for collaboration, learning and/or training. The gap was partially caused by the lack of understanding how to implement a BIM-based game in web browser environment. In this paper, the authors provided an implementation example using a hospital BIM model to create an interactive web-based 3D BIM game environment to allow users to visualize and interact with the BIM components using regular web browsers. The intention of this project is to create a proprietary-independent training environment to conduct energy re-commissioning trainings for hospital facility management staff. This virtual BIM environment can potentially be customized for engineering student learning and project collaborations as well. The conclusion was that current BIM and game technology are mature enough to allow us to create serious web-based interactive learning/training virtual environment. The successful integration of BIM and web browsers paved the way for many learning and training applications, which need built-environment as context. © 2012 ASCE

Игровые приложения системы обучения OSA

For the English full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT The authors present a new solution in the field of rail distance learning - learning mobile applications. The aim of the project is to increase interest and motivation in the process of education and self-education. Examples are given of constructing a gaming platform for training tasks regarding principles of operation of railway automation and telemechanics devices. A conceptually new approach to technical on-job training is presented, based on introduction of game and competitive components, promoting enhancement of the professionalism of personnel of any qualification. The OSApp application, shown in the article, serves as an additional module to the main OSA distance learning platform. Keywords: transport, automation and telemechanics, distance learning, OSApp, OSA, technical training, neural networks, Anytime and Anywhere Learning.Полный текст на англ. языке находится в прилагаемом файле ПДФ (англ. версия следует после русской версии).Авторами представлено новое решение в области самообучения и самоконтроля - игровые мобильные приложения.
