Abstract

The paper presents the development of a Virtual Reality (VR) application to perform dives in the Christoforos Shipwreck. The huge wreck lies in the Panormos Bay of Skopelos island (Greece) at a depth of 45 meters. Based on a well-known methodology designed for ancient shipwrecks, the 3D reconstruction of the underwater site has been carried out by adjusting the workflow to survey modern shipwrecks. In particular, the methodology, based on photogrammetry, is capable to provide a highly detailed 3D reconstruction of the shipwreck in a few dives, considering issues like working depth, elevations, and thin elements modelling. Moreover, the paper describes the optimization of the 3D model and the software to be executed in low-performance Head Mounted Display (HMD) devices. The resulting VR application, realized for touristic purposes, recreates the exact ambient conditions inside and outside the water simulating the flora and fauna of the place, the coastline, allowing users to live a recreational and educational experience by virtual diving in the underwater site.

探索现代沉船的虚拟现实应用:以克里斯托弗罗斯号沉船为例

本文介绍了一种虚拟现实(VR)应用程序的开发，用于在克里斯托弗罗斯沉船中进行潜水。这艘巨大的沉船位于希腊斯科佩洛斯岛的帕诺尔莫斯湾，水深45米。基于一种著名的古代沉船研究方法，通过调整工作流程对现代沉船进行水下遗址的三维重建。特别是，该方法基于摄影测量，能够在几次潜水中提供非常详细的沉船3D重建，考虑到工作深度，海拔和薄元素建模等问题。此外，本文还介绍了在低性能头戴式显示器(HMD)设备上执行的3D模型和软件的优化。由此产生的VR应用程序，为旅游目的而实现，再现了水内外的确切环境条件，模拟了该地区的动植物，海岸线，允许用户通过虚拟潜水在水下现场生活娱乐和教育体验。

期刊介绍： The main goal of this journal is the enhancement of academic activities of IMEKO and a wider dissemination of scientific output from IMEKO TC events. High-quality papers presented at IMEKO conferences, workshops or congresses are seleted by the event organizers and the authors are invited to publish an enhanced version of their paper in this journal. The journal also publishes scientific articles on measurement and instrumentation not related to an IMEKO event.
