摘要:
A computer simulation and virtual reality system for teaching proper spray painting techniques has features to foster structured training via planned lesson curriculum, and network capabilities that allow students to remotely view an instructor demonstrating technique on the system. The system also provides instructors software for developing lesson curriculum, managing classes, and reviewing lesson results of the students.

A virtual coatings application system has several features to enhance the realism of simulated spray painting. The system generally includes a display screen on which is defined a virtual surface (such as a truck door) that is intended to be virtually painted or coated by the user. Alternatively, the system includes a head-mounted display unit that displays a virtual spray painting environment in which the virtual surface is defined. The user operates an instrumented spray gun controller that outputs one or more signals representing data as to the status of the controls on the spray gun controller. The system also has a motion tracking system that tracks the position and orientation of the spray gun controller with respect to the virtual surface. Simulation software generates virtual spray pattern data in response to at least the data from the spray gun controller and the position and orientation data received from the tracking system. Virtual spray pattern images are displayed in real time on the virtual surface in accordance with the accumulation of virtual spray pattern data at each location on the virtual surface.

摘要:
A computerized modeling system is provided. The present invention is a computer-implemented, interactive, real-time software tool, for physically transforming a system or process into a visual representation. The software tool includes a class developer for interactively developing the visual representation in real time. The visual representation is physically embodied in a computer-readable medium for visualization on a computer display device, and includes at least one of a class, a class behavior, a class attribute, a collaboration, and a collaboration message flow. The software tool also includes a three-dimensional visual representation module for displaying a three-dimensional depiction of the visual representation on the display device.
