Construction of virtual campus information system

By using a virtual campus, users can not only immerse in the campus scene, but also interact with the system, which helps them understand the campus rapidly and deeply. But the virtual campus itself doesn't provide the relevant data information of the campus scene, which severely limits its application to a certain extent. To solve this problem, oriented to Beijing Institute of Petrochemical Technology (BIPT), the virtual campus information system is designed by using 3ds Max, a 3D modeling software, and VRP-Builder, a developed platform of virtual reality. This project has accomplished the basic functions of the virtual campus information system, which includes reproducing the landscape of the campus faithfully, realizing virtual campus walkthrough and user information interaction. The study and implementation of this system can be used in campus planning and students' services, as well as exploring on how to establish information systems on the basis of the virtual campus.
