Development of a geodetic simulator in virtual reality mode

Abstract

The introduction of virtual reality technologies in the educational process in addition to educational and industrial practices will allow а student to gain more experience with geodetic instruments under different conditions. The aim of the research is to develop a geodetic simulator, which can facilitate the experience of future specialists and improve the quality of the educational process. The article presents the development of the main menu of the simulator, the creation of a demo room of geodetic instruments, as well as testing of the developed software product. The result of the research is the creation of a fully functioning simulator of work with geodetic equipment in virtual reality, which allows supplementing both the distance learning process of future geodesists and the full-time educational process. Being a universal tool, the simulator will be useful not only for training future specialists, but also will help specialists with work experience to refresh their knowledge and practice with geodetic equipment at different locations.
