SimuSurvey X: An Improved Virtual Surveying Instrument Running off a Game Engine 17 March, 2011 Presenter Prof. Shih-Chung Kang Department of Civil Engineering National Taiwan University

Background Difficulty in teaching Surveying Virtual reality simulation used for improvement of surveying teaching The previous version - SimuSurvey Using the XNA gaming platform, we developed a new virtual surveying instrument, named SimuSurvey X

SimuSurvey A computer-based surveyor training tool which simulates instrument manipulation It has been demonstrated to be a successful tool in user tests with 323 students. The user interface design and deployment were two major areas identified for further improvement.

Objective Continued improvement of the usability and teaching effectiveness of SimuSurvey. Approach: Use the XNA gaming platform to develop a new virtual surveying instrument, named SimuSurvey X, with improved visual effects and user interfaces.

Benefits with gaming platform Modern game consoles often have fantastic visual effects and provide 360 degrees of navigation, giving the users better awareness of the spatial environment. Improved user interface for operating virtual surveying instruments A unified hardware standard for easier deployment, operation, and promotion.

Work Done The virtual instruments implemented include leveling, theodolite and total station. Scenarios designed for surveying missions include leveling surveying, horizontal angle surveying, vertical angle surveying, traverse closed surveying and free model. User interfaces are designed using an iterative and incremental user-centered development model, called the I&I-UCD method. Accompanying teaching materials are prepared for surveying courses in vocational schools and universities. User feedbacks are collected and analyzed for evaluation of usability and teaching effectiveness

SimuSurvey X - User Interface 3D Navigation mode: 1st –personal pan, tilt, move Instrument control mode : Pan, rotation, tile, zoom

Outcomes SimuSurvey X beta version has been released on May, 2010. Website: http://simusurveyx.caece.net Companion teaching materials for SimuSurvey X are also developed for surveying teaching. Compared with the former version, SimuSurvey X has better visual effects and user interfaces for educational use.

Thank you!
