3D Virtual museum generation by using SuperSQL

Abstract

Purpose

Currently, the results of database acquisition are variously expressed, but it seems that users’ understanding degree will be improved by expressing some search results such as images of products of shopping sites in three dimensions rather than two dimensions. Therefore, this paper aims to propose a system for automatically generating 3D virtual museum that arranges 3D objects with various layouts from the acquisition result of relation database by SuperSQL query.

Design/methodology/approach

The study extended the SuperSQL to generate 3D virtual reality museum using declarative queries on relational data stored in a database.

Findings

This system made it possible to generate various three-dimensional virtual spaces with different layouts through simple queries.

Originality/value

It can be said that this system is useful in that a complicated three-dimensional virtual space can be generated by describing a simple query and a different three-dimensional virtual space can be generated by slightly changing the query or database content. When creating a virtual museum, if there are too many exhibitions or when changing the layout, the burden on the user will be high. But in this system, it is possible to automatically generate various virtual museums easily and reduce the burden on users.
