Development of Virtural Reality System for the World Heritage

本研究项目运用最新的视听技术，将联合国教科文组织世界遗产的信息环境记录在高清视听媒体上，并开发虚拟现实系统来体验世界遗产的信息环境。我们开发的录音系统使用数字高视觉格式的视觉信息和高速1比特的声音格式的声音信息在现场记录。为了调查这些系统的效率，我们访问了意大利、格鲁吉亚、亚美尼亚和伊朗，并记录了世界遗产。运用生理学和心理学的方法评价了视听信息密度对人的真实感的影响，考察了虚拟现实系统的必要质量。我们发现了增强现实方法的有效性，并开发了一个世界遗产远程体验的原型系统，并对其效果进行了评估。该原型系统在一些学术会议上进行了演示。

Applying the latest audio-visual technology, the purpose of this research project is to record the information environment of the world Heritage of UNESCO on the high definition audio-visual media, and to develop virtual reality system for experience of information environment of those heritage.We have developed the recording system using the digital High Vision format for visual information and high speed 1 bit sound format for sound information in the field recording. To investigate the efficiency of these system, we have visited Italy, Georgia, Armenia and Iran, and have recorded the World Heritage.Also, we have evaluated the effects of the density of audio-visual information to the sense of reality of humans by the use of physiological and psychological method, and have examined the necessary quality for virtual reality system. We found that the validity of the method of augmented reality, and have developed a proto-type system of tele-experience of world heritage and evaluated its effects. The proto-type system was demonstrated at some academic congresses.
