Underground Space Engineering AR Display Platform

1 Introduction

The platform utilizes customized interactive management tools to achieve the visualization and immersive experience of geological information. It gathers various geological results and models to create a three-dimensional virtual display platform, providing an integrated information framework. By employing virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality technologies, it establishes a comprehensive geological information display platform that offers accurate data support for geological environment management and analysis.


2 Platform Features

The platform utilizes augmented reality technology to create a three-dimensional simulation platform that realistically restores geological environments, integrating multiple scene and topic models covering various surface, underground, and indoor/outdoor scenarios. It supports various gesture and voice interactions through devices such as MR glasses and tablets. Information is presented quickly in a visual format, enhancing the efficiency of geological management.

The platform offers various features to enhance user interaction with the scene sandbox, including:  

  • Distance Measurement and Depth Measurement: Obtain distance and soil layer height through gesture operations.  

  • Drilling Management: Supports convenient drilling operations and information viewing.  

  • Recognition Function: Provides an intuitive interface for users to access geographic information, drilling locations, and pipeline distribution.  

  • Patrol Mode: Offers both path-based and free patrol options, supporting gesture or voice commands.
