Intelligent Modelling of Virtual Worlds Using Domain Ontologies
Today, the development of a VR application is still a long and difficult task as new features are being developed for Virtual Reality. There is a need to have better modelling tools which will help the de- signer to model the VR application much more from the domain expert point of view by involving him more in the design process. In this paper, a new approach is introduced for designing and developing a VR appli- cation where the domain expertise is used for generating it more easily. This approach uses ontologies as a way of grasping the knowledge of a domain, expressing the virtual world much more in terms of the end-user domain, generating the virtual world more easily and performing intel- ligent reasoning. Furthermore, ontologies are also used as a conceptual modelling tool allowing a non-VR-skilled person to model his VR appli- cation using the concepts of Virtual Reality more intuitively and more oriented towards his domain expertise.
