The purpose of the research is to develop a virtual reality (VR)
based simulation training system. The system provides a safety
environment for the trainee to improve his ability of operation
and assists the trainer a new technique for training. The VR-
based crane simulation system is divided into two parts: a
mobile crane and a overhead crane. Both parts include the
manuals of training and testing, the layout of the virtual
environment, the applications of VR devices, the design of
hydraulic and locomotion platforms, the development of the
monitoring system, the editorship of the multimedia, and the
integration of the global system.The dissertation is focus on
the process and result of virtual reality applications and
system integration. dVISE software is used to create the virtual
environment. In order to enhance visualization, the scenery is
rendered on a SGI/Octane workstation. A large screened 3D
projector or a head-mounted display is utilized to illustrate
stereogragh. Finally, these subsystems are incorporated with the
hydraulic or locomotion platform and the monitoring system.
