[0026]
The evacuation virtual training apparatus X configured as described above is connected to a computer group provided at a location away from the installation location of the evacuation virtual training apparatus X through a network, and the system of this embodiment is constructed. Of course, the system of the present invention can be constructed with the basic evacuation virtual training apparatus X alone.
[0027]
As the computer, for example, a computer 21 connected to the intranet A ″ connected to the intranet A via the dedicated line B, a computer 21 connected to the Internet A, and the like are used. Using the video data generation function, a display device 23 that can display a virtual space video on the display device 22 using a CRT, an LCD, or the like, or can display a large planar or arched stereoscopic image that can be displayed in real scale, By projecting the same virtual space image as the virtual space projected on the screen 4, the experience in front of the screen 4 of the evacuation virtual training device X and the experience in front of the display device 22 and the display device 23 connected to the computer 21. The evacuation experience can be shared by those who share the virtual space.
[0028]
An acoustic signal can be generated based on a disaster situation simulation result using the acoustic control function provided in each computer 21.
[0029]
Here, the virtual space auxiliary auxiliary server 30 for managing the virtual space information and the evacuation route information is provided in the intranet A ″, and the virtual space construction server 2 on the evacuation virtual training apparatus X side is provided through the virtual space construction auxiliary server 30. The virtual space construction server is multiplexed by exchanging evacuation route information between them, storing the evacuation route information in a storage device in the virtual space auxiliary auxiliary server 30, or storing it in the external storage device 31. Is designed to absorb the delay.
[0030]
The disaster situation simulator 1 should be multiplexed if possible. However, since this requires a lot of computer resources, an action for predicting the behavior of the evacuees can be incorporated into the video data generation function side of the computer 21. It tries to absorb the delay of the network. Of course, the disaster situation simulator 1 can be multiplexed. This behavior prediction function functions effectively even when no server is multiplexed at the nearest location like a computer 21 connected via the Internet A as shown in the figure, and a delay due to the network cannot be avoided.
[0031]
Note that the computer 21 connected to the intranet A ″ or the Internet A and having the display device 22 as a display device does not display the virtual space stereoscopically, but displays a monocular window, and further displays video elements in the virtual space. It displays a graphical user interface for control and is used for different purposes from large display devices.
[0032]
The control of the virtual space mentioned here refers to browsing of accumulated evacuation route information, advice information, and changing disaster conditions.
[0033]
The virtual space image projected on the screen 4 of the display device 5 or the virtual space image displayed on the display device 23 is an image that can be viewed stereoscopically by a user wearing polarized glasses, and a method of generating this image data Since a known method is used, description thereof is omitted here. Of course, other stereoscopic video image generation methods may be employed.
[0034]
In the evacuation virtual training apparatus X, the input of the viewpoint position information of the experience person is by image processing using the CCD camera 8. For example, the input of the viewpoint position information of the experience person using the display device 23 is, for example, a joystick or It is performed by the operation of the experience person or the movement of the hand using the glove type input device.
[0035]
The viewpoint position information of the experience person using the display device 22 of the computer 21 is input using a joystick or a glove-type input device, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like.
[0036]
The gesture detection by the CCD camera 8 described above is performed by capturing an image of the experience person captured by the CCD camera 8 installed in the information of the experience person M into the gesture recognition device 9. The direction indicated by is detected, and the direction is recognized as the traveling direction (viewpoint position). Also, before the start of the experience, measure the length of the hand when the experience person straightened the hand forward, and when reaching out to indicate the direction of travel, the hand caught from above by the elbow bend Using the change in length, the length of the hand at that time is recognized as the moving speed in the traveling direction. Of course, a well-known method may be used as the image processing method, and the description is omitted here.
[0037]
Next, the operation of the evacuation virtual experience system of the present invention will be described.
[0038]
First, at the start of the experience, input of personal information (including height indicating the height of the head) of an experienced person who experiences using the evacuation virtual experience device X and each computer 21. This is performed under the management of the person information management server 13. In this case, the experience person inputs predetermined data according to a question or the like from the experience person information management server 13 by a keyboard or hand instruction while viewing the display devices 22 and 23 and the screen 4.
[0039]
On the evacuation virtual experience device X side, the initial setting of the length of the hands of the experience person is also performed.
[0040]
When authentication and initial measurement are completed in this way, evacuation experience training is started. First, in the basic evacuation virtual experience device X, the video generation device 3 uses a computer graphics (CG) to create a virtual space for stereoscopic viewing based on the disaster situation simulation result of the disaster situation simulator 1 and the evacuation route information instructed by the experience person. Video data is generated, and based on the generated virtual space video data, the virtual space video is projected on the screen 4 in real scale by the projection means of the display device 5.
[0041]
In accordance with the projected virtual space image, an acoustic signal is generated by the three-dimensional sound control device 10 and reproduced from the three-dimensional sound device 11 for a noise, a human voice or the like in the virtual space, and given to the experience person. A sense of reality will increase further. Of course, other methods that do not use polarized glasses may be adopted as the stereoscopic video method.
[0042]
FIG. 2 shows an example of an image of a virtual space where evacuation virtual experience training is performed. In this case, an example of an underground shopping center is shown. The forward direction of the center of the video indicates the traveling direction (viewpoint position) of the experience person, and the virtual space construction server 2 evacuates based on the traveling direction (viewpoint position) information recognized by the gesture recognition device 9 and the speed information. Start accumulation of route information.
[0043]
Here, the disaster situation simulator 1 simulates changes in ambient temperature and smoke (gas) situation as the fire spreads after the fire breaks out, changes in the visibility rate of the evacuation guide light due to the influence of smoke, etc., and concentration of evacuated people The simulation of the movement speed limitation according to the degree, the visibility according to the height of the head of the experiencer, and the change of the health condition, and the experience of the experiencer who recognizes from the disaster situation simulation result of the disaster situation simulator 1 and the gesture recognition device 9 Based on the traveling direction (viewpoint direction) and the moving speed, the video generation device 3 changes the video data to be generated every moment and displays it on the screen 4 of the display device 5. FIG. 3 shows an image showing a fire occurrence situation. Similarly, the three-dimensional sound control device 10 generates sound data of a sound that can be heard at the position of the experience person and reproduces it through the three-dimensional sound device 11. When a gas explosion or the like occurs, the swing control device 7 operates the swing device 6 based on the disaster simulation result, and the experience person sitting on the swing device 6 virtually moves the swing at the time of the explosion. Let them experience and further enhance the sense of reality. In addition, when the experience person is a wheelchair user, the virtual experience of swinging the wheelchair or swinging on the stairs when there is a staircase in the evacuation route is provided.
[0044]
In this way, the change of the image element in the virtual space on the screen 4 of the display device 5 and the three-dimensional sound device 11 according to the disaster simulation result by the disaster situation simulator 1 and the traveling direction (viewpoint position) and moving speed of the experience person. By using the sound reproduced in the above and the rocking by the rocking device 6, the experience person can experience the evacuation with the presence and feeling of being evacuated under the actual disaster situation.
[0045]
During this evacuation experience, the evacuation route information (travel direction <viewpoint position> and speed information) designated by the experience person is sequentially accumulated by the accumulation means in the virtual space construction server 2, and this accumulated information is stored in the experience person. It can be replayed to observe the evacuation situation.
[0046]
In other words, when the evacuation virtual training apparatus X is set to the reproduction operation and the reproduction operation is performed, the evacuation route information (travel direction <viewpoint position> and movement speed information) accumulated in the accumulated information is sequentially time-sequentially. The video generation device 3 generates video data based on the reproduction information and the disaster simulation result. Thereby, the video of the virtual space along the evacuation route selected by the experience person can be reproduced, and the evacuation route of the experience person can be analyzed.
[0047]
The stored information is stored in the external storage device 14 as a database by the virtual space construction server 2 and can be read out at a later date to be reproduced as described above.
[0048]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the above video includes a person as a video element in addition to the virtual space of the building or facility. The following method is used to draw this virtual human video. Yes.
[0049]
First, as shown in FIG. 4, a concentric circle L1... At a certain distance from the position A of the experience person is assumed, and a virtual human existing at a distance L1 from the position A to the virtual human and a position with respect to the traveling direction B. I try to change the way I draw. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the virtual person m1 within a certain distance L1 from the position A expresses with a fine shape and texture, and smoothes the operation. Further, the virtual person m2 existing at the position L2 slightly far from the position A expresses with a medium fine shape and texture to make the operation moderate, and the virtual person m3 existing at the position L3 further away has a simple shape and texture. No expression and no action. Further, it is assumed that the virtual human m4 located at a far distance L4 does not operate as an expression only by texture.
[0050]
Then, when the position A of the experience person moves forward as shown in FIG. 5B, the virtual person m1 existing in the nearest place in FIG. 5A is located behind the position A, In this case, there is no operation as an expression using only texture. Then, the virtual human m2... Existing in the forward direction from the position A changes the way of drawing according to the distance from the position A according to the case of FIG. Similarly, when the position A of the experience person moves further forward as shown in FIG. 5C, the virtual humans m1 and m, which are located behind the position A, do not operate as expressions only by texture. The virtual person m3 located in front of the position A changes the way of drawing according to the distance from the position A according to the case of FIG. In this way, the data generation processing of the video generation device 3 is reduced by gradually changing how the virtual person is drawn according to the distance from the experience person.
[0051]
By the way, in this embodiment, the basic evacuation virtual experience apparatus X is connected to the other computers 21 through the dedicated line B and the intranet A ″ or the Internet A, and the display device 22 or the display connected to each computer 21. Although the device 23 can perform a virtual evacuation experience even in a remote place, the video generation function provided in the computer 21 connected to the display device 23 is sent through the dedicated line B and the intranet A ″. View from the viewpoint of the experience based on the disaster simulation results and the direction of travel (viewpoint position) and movement speed input by the experience with the input means consisting of a joystick or glove-type input device provided on the computer 21 side. Generated virtual space stereoscopic image data and displayed on the display device 23, It is adapted to reproduce the sound in the virtual space by the acoustic device 24 to the hotel has.
[0052]
On the other hand, the display device 22 uses a CRT or LCD monitor connected to the computers 21..., And the image generation function provided in the computer 21 connected to the display device 22 has a dedicated line B and an intranet A ′. The disaster simulation results sent through ', the direction of travel (viewpoint position) and the movement speed of the experience input by the user using input means such as a joystick, glove-type input device, keyboard and mouse provided on the computer 21 side. Based on the instruction, video data that can be viewed with a web browser for monocular viewing of the virtual space viewed from the viewpoint of the user is generated and displayed on the display device 22 in a window. This video can be browsed by a Web browser operating on the computer 21. Also in this case, the sound in the virtual space is reproduced by the acoustic device 24 provided therewith. In addition, the display device 22 can be instructed to reproduce the evacuation route or change the disaster situation by using a graphical user interface for controlling the displayed virtual space.
[0053]
As described above, in any embodiment, the virtual space displayed on the screen 4 of the display device 5 of the basic evacuation virtual experience device X is shared by the display devices 22 and 23 connected to the computers 21. In addition, multiple people can participate in evacuation drills at the same time in remote areas.
[0054]
In this case, the evacuation route information such as the traveling direction (viewpoint position) and the traveling speed input by each computer 21 with respect to the virtual space construction server 2 that manages evacuation route information management and information that needs to be updated relatively frequently. Since the delay on the network is caused when sending directly through the network, the virtual space construction auxiliary server 30 provided on the intranet A ″ causes the traveling direction (viewpoint position) input by the input means of each computer 21 and The information on the moving speed is accumulated and used to construct a virtual space in the computer 21 on the intranet A ″, and the evacuation route is accumulated and stored in the external storage device 31 as a database to absorb the delay in the network. It is like that.
[0055]
Then, in order to reflect the direction of travel (viewpoint position) and moving speed of the users who share the virtual space in the virtual space image viewed by the other users, the video is based on the contents specified by each user. The generation device 3 and the image generation function of the computer 21... Generate virtual human image data indicating other experienced users by reflecting their traveling direction (viewpoint position) and moving speed, and display them in the virtual space. It has become. As a result, it is possible to create a situation where each experienced person who is immersed in the virtual space takes an evacuation action influenced by the evacuation action of another experience person.
[0056]
Further, by using the display device 22 of the remote computer 21..., The facility manager who is a virtual evacuation target or a disaster evacuation specialist monitors the evacuation activity of the experience person, and the accumulated evacuation route of the experience person. By monitoring the reproduced video based on the video, it is possible to give advice or present an opinion to the experienced person. These advice and opinion are displayed on the display device 5 under the management of the advice information management server 12. It is presented by any one of a character, an image displayed on the screens 22 and 23, a voice through the audio devices 11 and 24, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the evacuation route information stored in the external storage devices 14 and 31 can be reproduced and checked later, and advice and opinions can be presented offline (documents) to the experienced user.
[0057]
In addition to the information on the evacuation route of the experience person, information on the evacuation route corresponding to an ideal (exemplary) evacuation state in a certain disaster situation is registered in advance in the database of the external storage device 14, and the evacuation is performed to the experience person. In the case of having an experience, this evacuation route is reproduced and the experience person performs the same evacuation among a plurality of virtual humans in the virtual space displayed on the display device 5 or 22, 23. The experience person can indicate his / her traveling direction (viewpoint position) and moving speed, and can also present a virtual space where he / she can evacuate while interfering with surrounding virtual persons, facilities, and door structures. ing. In this case, the evacuation information to be reproduced is not strict position information according to the time axis. It is also possible to achieve evacuation of experienced people while interfering.
[0058]
By the way, in the evacuation virtual experience apparatus X of FIG. 1, by processing the image captured by the CCD camera 8 disposed above the experience person, the traveling direction (viewpoint position) is changed according to the direction in which the experience person extends his hand. Gesture recognition device 9 for recognizing the speed according to the length of the camera, as shown in FIG. The CCD camera 8d placed above the experiencer M captures the motion of the foot of the experiencer M, acquires a cycle in which the experiencer M steps on by moving image processing, and obtains this in the virtual space of the experiencer M The gesture recognition device 8 that recognizes the moving speed and detects the direction of the face of the experience person M as the traveling direction may be used. In this case, in order to make it easier to detect the position of the foot, a mark that can be extracted by image processing is attached to the ankle, and in order to make it easier to detect the orientation of the face, the user M wears a hat with a mark. The mark is captured by the upper CCD camera 8d and image processing is performed so that the face direction, that is, the traveling direction (viewpoint position) can be recognized.
[0059]
In place of the CCD camera, a plurality of infrared sensors 25 are arranged in a matrix above the experience person M as shown in FIG. 7, and the direction indicated by the hands of the experience person is recognized based on the detection output of these infrared sensors 25. The gesture recognition device 8 may be used. In this case, the video generation device 3 generates video data that changes the traveling direction (viewpoint position) while the moving speed and rotation speed of the experience person are fixed. In the figure, a indicates a detection area of each infrared sensor 25.
[0060]
In addition to gestures, an input means for recognizing a direction of movement (viewpoint position) or movement speed generated by a voice by an experienced person using voice recognition technology may be adopted instead of the input means by gesture. In the evacuation virtual experience device X, a joystick or a glove type input device may be used as an input means.
[0061]
