3D modeling and functional design of reading room in a virtual library

Virtual reality technology has been widely applied in many different fields, which has large development potentiality and good prospect. This paper involves related technologies of virtual reality based on the PC and construction of a walk-through system. The realistic feeling of panorama images and the real-time properties while roaming are designed. The library of Liaoning Shihua University is taken for the research example. For the modeling of the library based on the 3DS Max software and the VRML language, the author focuses on the function design of the virtual reading room. The JavaScript language node is used and the VRML language and Java language are connected with the database. The virtual library walk-through system and information inquiry technology are implemented.
