A method for automatic generation of a passable route for the walk-through taking into account the obstacles

Abstract

The evacuation exercise simulator based on the walk-through system is suitable to provide a pseudo experience of evacuation.However,it may need time to master the operation of the movement in the virtual space and this drawback may become a barrier when we use this simulator as a tool for evacuation exercise for ordinary people.In this paper,we propose a method for automatic generation of a passable route for the walk-through taking into account obstacles.Specifically,the proposed method realizes automatic generation of the route which allows us to avoid the collision against the obstacles assuming the rubble on the road and to move the virtual space with easy operation.
