Title : Fata Morgana |
Team Name : GG Granite Group Robert
Gordon University (UK) |
|
Overview |
|
The intention of the work behind the proposal was to derive an organic
response to the brief and site. The core principle was chosen to be levels,
which we then incorporated in each aspect of the work process. Levels and
layers dictated the form of the built environment, the landscaping and
the VR experience. We were keen on introducing an element of experience
through the VR, which would not only behave as an architectural tool, but
would rather enhance the experience of architecture giving the built environment
and landscaping multiple functions, hence allowing each experience of architecture
to be unique.

University, Maubin (Myanmar) |
|
Overview
|
|
Since we learned that Osaka City will definitely be one of the famous cities
in the future, we would like to participate this competition with an idea
that entertain people. And we would like to make Yumeshima Island to develop
in a substainable way. Too much substainable will be boring in the future
so we bring down culture and activities to this Island. To provide the
Island green spaces, we plant trees along the coastal which will be distributed
back to the Island when grow up.

This is an international design competition for students
to compete amongst each other in designing an innovative
architecture, bridge and city design using BIM/CIM &VR
technologies. Every year students compete for the top prize
which is given to an outstanding work outlining a predefined
theme in the aspect of design, innovative idea, and
creativity. They plan and design their work based on the theme
and then run a simulation. Their final model will be presented
to the judges in a form of a script for evaluation.
To assist students with the production of their work, we plan to carry
out workshops and seminars. We will also support the students who will
make use of software from now on. Also you can communicate and collect
a lot of information without having to visit the local area by participating
various workshop reviews through the Web and VR forum (3D cloud BBS). The
script of VR data created by FORUM8's software and a "Concept poster"
(A1 size (lateral) in PDF format) are required for the final submission
and the judgment is performed on the basis of "VR Cloud judgment".
We would like you to use FORUM8's BIM software and VR technologies by all
means and consider this competition as an opportunity to create your masterpiece.
We encourage students from different departments majoring in different
field of studies to make a team to work on their model together to demonstrate
that BIM/CIM can be used in various discipline. |

"OSAKA Dream Island, the Future City for Entertainment"
There is no doubt that the development of VR and simulation technology
has led extension to the human experience as we never experienced before.
As well as being able to move around the virtual world by the fact that
CG/ high resolution real-time advances in VR technology and sensory devices
on hearing and touch sensations are added to increase its experience, and
is definitely sliming the difference between real and virtual experience
and at the same time dynamics of various other phenomena making the whole
experiences realistic and multiplying the opportunities for the future
of VR.
In entertainment industry, application of VR technology to games and video
contents has brought a market value particularly to the general public.
Therefore, it is often the case that creating not only the realistic environment
but also an environment that does not exist in reality, such as fantasy
space and the universe, are able to be experienced with a sense of reality.
This fact clearly indicates the strong desire of the human unknown spatial
experience, the demand for providing the fantastic spatial experience,
and the prospect of content and creativity (*1).
Furthermore, the new field of design in this VR entertainment industry
is not limited to the experience of imaginary world without any reality,
but flooding to the real world. As a result of this technology which we
can recreate a unrealistic human experiences in scenes like amusement parks
with, we should focus on the fact that physical construction and visual
composition are being considered to be integral part of the design. An
interactive digital image experience combining with projection mapping
for instance projecting the CG into real space and the technology which
senses human behavior is also gaining popularity (*2).
On the other hand, mixed reality created by superimposing a digital image
on the screen which interacts with the motion or gestures of the human
can be seen in everyone's smartphone nowadays. Judging from the effect
of parallel comprehensive display of various information overlayed on large
screen images used in recent sports arenas and concert venues (*3), the
scale of this kind of composite media design is becoming a kind of entertainment
to re-project the information of the crowd behavior at the venues where
many people gather rather than at the personal spaces.
Thus, in terms of entertainment experience, the design of virtual space
and real space is not separated or replicated, and is gaining a new value
by being designed as an integration of the human experience (*4). Entertainment
experiences created by the information technology will be an important
element in the city design in the future. This field is considered as an
active market even in the automobile industry which has been considered
only as means of transportation (*5).
In this VDWC, therefore, we encourage participants to propose the design
of urban space that brings the mixed reality entertainment experience.
The design site is "Osaka Port Yumeshima" where an integrated
resort is planned to be developed, and the World Expo is also planned to
be held next to it (*6, *7). Just like an amusement park, in such a large-scale
integrated resort, buildings are the device to create an extraordinary
space which attracts the visitors by combining the visual arts and the
amenities related to entertainment. At the same time, they can be an image
expression device, for example elevators and transportation will also become
the part of the entertainment without even being realized that these are
also a part of the experience.
What we are expecting from you is to create a new urban experience by combining
virtual reality and physical construction as described, but don't forget
the possibilities of the existing simulation techniques. As you know there
are several simulation techniques for example simulating the spatial experience
visually by embedding the image/video and the program to control it. The
structural analysis simulation is effective for the projection mapping
on abnormal shaped object for example floating in the air. Crowd behaviour
simulation is useful to create the entertainment from the collective action/movements
of the crowd and Traffic simulation is useful to enhance the safety and
convenience as well as entertainment.
Note: It is not necessary to design the whole target area shown here, part
of the area can also be used.
