Restoration of lost architectural monuments in Virtual Reality
Absztrakt
In the past 10 years the development of technology led us to the era of virtual reality. VR is a computer-based technology that provides a realistic experience, interactive, or a sense of an object. The ability of virtual reality in representing environment can be used in reconstructing lost historical structures, using minimum information and resources, even if, for different reasons, this restoration is impossible in real life. This thesis is a research about problems and solutions of such tasks, as well as VR restoration of one of such historical buildings, English Palace, which was located in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and was completely destroyed during World War II. This 3D model as well as any other historical VR representation can be used in various number of fields, starting from studying and computer games creation, ending with virtual tourism.
