Research on a community life route guidance system based on virtual reality technology

Abstract

Virtual reality technology holds significant potential for applications in the field of urban visualization, although it is primarily utilized for showcasing architectural forms or aiding in planning and design processes. To enhance the integration of urban visualization technology into the everyday lives of ordinary residents and expand the user base beyond planners, this paper introduces the Community Life Route Guidance System, leveraging the presentation of economic livelihood to afford residents interactive experiences within authentic living scenarios. By incorporating and aligning the location and information of Points of Interest (POIs) within the urban model of a single community and its surrounding neighborhoods, it generates, calculates, and filters 'life routes' comprising four categories of commercial nodes. The objective is to serve new residents in the community by providing life guidance or to offer prospective homebuyers a reference point for the convenience of community commercial facilities. The specific technical pathway encompasses: constructing an environmental model, processing and associating POI data, life path identification based on the Dijkstra algorithm, and path visualization with user interaction.
