The Jiayuguan Branch
of Gansu Province’s RTVU (Radio and Television University) announced their first “3D Guide Simulation Experiment & Training Room.”
This is a “Multi-Channel Dome
Projection System”, one which employs VR technology to simulate 3D stereoscopic
scenery. (For more information on dome projection systems in general, see this link.) The project was funded jointly
by the Gansu Provincial Department of Education, which invested 1 million Yuan,
along with the Jiayuguan RTVU Branch, which provided an additional 300,000 Yuan
for the solution.
According to a
spokesperson, students sitting in the new training dome can “travel forty
thousand kilometers per day in one place” and are freely able to explore many
famous scenic spots around the country. The scenes created by this immersive
virtual simulation display environment are uniquely placed “within arm’s reach.”
The platform can also support 3D films, pictures, PowerPoint, audio/video
files, video conferencing, and distance learning.
The solution is used
for training students for the growing tourism and hospitality industry in
Jiayuguan City (known for the in Jiayuguan pass, the Great Wall, tombs,
glaciers, stone carvings, mounds, and glider recreation), which has experienced
rapid growth in the last few years. Using the platform, students are able to
practice tour guide explanation and language skills. The RTVU also plans to use
the dome for simulation practice and teaching in the specialties of mechanical
engineering, auto repair, and architecture.
