Abstract

The goal of this study is to develop new software for constructing interactive virtual environments of machine-maintenance training using virtual reality technology. The problem of existent virtual reality software is that special knowledge is required in order to construct interactive virtual environments where a user can assemble and disassemble virtual apparatus. Therefore this paper presents a new interface through which a user intuitively constructs interactive virtual environments by attaching ActCube, which is a rectangular parallelepiped with a peculiar function, to 3 dimensional models as like building blocks.
