  1. A review of Virtual Worlds projectsat NASA Ames carried out by DigitalSpace, RIACS and other partnersVirtual Iron Bird Workshop (03/31/2004) I. BrahmsVE/SimHab II. ISS-PSA III. ISS-SimStation Online IV. Mars Planetary Fractal Model V. DriveOnMars (VizOpps)

  2. BrahmsVE/SimHabA virtual environment platform for discrete agent work practice simulation • Begun in 1999, models of activities aboard Mars Analog Habitats FMARS and MDRS (SimHab) • Humans in future mission concepts, modeled from captured habitat crew activities

  3. BrahmsVE/SimHab-InspirationSTS-61, Hubble Repair training (JSC 1993)

  4. Architecture of BrahmsVElight weight, web, standards, open source

  5. BrahmsVE/SimHabModeling process • Video and other activity capture • Brahms agent model • Geographic model: waypoints • Object, gesture and agent 3D models

  6. BrahmsVE/SimHabPlanning meeting, EVA prep, EVA water tank filling

  14. III. ISS-SimStation Online Online Instance of SimStationA rendition of SimStation project of Shirley, Cochrane et al,goals for online collaboration and document linking,early development phase

  15. ISS-SimStation Online – A Mirror World • Web-based plugin (Adobe Atmosphere) with PHP/MySQL and Constructor parses XML component connection model to assemble station, components link to: • online documents • close-out photography • video • Notations • multi user collaboration • voice loops • Future: construction/EVA viz

  17. IV. Mars Planetary Fractal Model • Commissioned by Geoff Briggs, Summer 2002 • Used the MOLA 1/128 dataset as terrain source • MOLA data translated into .DEM by 3DEM, seamlessly stitches a terrain patch. • Outputs elevation profiles of any path, allows verification of elevation, latitude and longitude or area • Step to mimic the actual colors and textures of the Martian surface using orbital photos of surface and atmospheric images. Artistic license employed: thinning the clouds, adding stars, etc. • Artistic license of surface simulation.

  22. MER and FMARS Analogue Habitat on the surface Mars Planetary Fractal Model

  23. V. Drive On Mars Goals: Build on the positive experience from Pathfinder/1997 and offer a high fidelity yet low bandwidth 3D interactive experience of the MER/2004 surface operations and support a wide range of public outreach goals. 3D virtual terrain to be included modeled from real MER data, simulation of vehicles making traverses, driving the virtual rovers through alternate traverses. Create a direction for proposed mission visualization (Mars Drill)

  24. Drive On Mars • Adobe Atmosphere player (~1.4MB web plugin) wide distribution, multiple platforms • Viewpoint format for animated objects • Havok physics in Atmosphere for realistic terrain following • Shadow casting, dynamic lighting (Mars “sols”) • JavaScript web-based scripting • High degree of compression, worlds/rover in demo <1MB uncompressed, less compressed • Web-based, fully distributed, multi user chat server option • Future: integrating pancam 3D mesh data (VizOpps project)

  30. Conclusions • Work is in an early stage development but based on a decade of prior work • Use of lightweight web-distributed environments a significant development in collaborative modeling and simulation • Development is much more rapid (10% compiled binary components, rest script and database) and agent and 3D models can be developed in a fraction of the time. • BrahmsVE is funded to product introduction in the Fall of 2005 • Seeking proof of concept projects (contact damer@digitalspace.com, 831 338 9400)
