Worldlets—3D thumbnails for wayfinding in virtual environments

Recommendations

Thinning trainer based on forest-growth model, virtual reality and computer-aided virtual environment

Immersive virtual reality is applied in many human activities. This virtual reality can be used as a training tool for thinning operations in forests. The aim of this study is to describe the complex solution of Thinning Trainer, that we developed. This ...
