Abstract: | Given the increasing prevalence of extreme events due to climate change, it becomes imperative to be prepared for their impacts. Simulations of events in virtual environments can be used for the evaluation of these effects. This thesis focuses on how different scenarios can be integrated into virtual environments. Currently, there is no wholistic approach for simulations of extreme events in virtual reality, but only stand-alone simulations of single (extreme) events. The goal of this thesis is to develop a modular framework for the simulation of scenarios. This enables scholars to integrate customized scenarios into their virtual research environments. Following a standard software development process, I created a new software called “Situation Control Menu (SitCoM)”. The software has two main components: the visual simulation of scenarios and the impact side of those events. I developed the software in the game engine “Unity”, as the available research environment “Spectra” is based on Unity. In addition, I developed a guideline on how to use this software. I tested the feasibility of SitCoM with a construction site scenario. The software turns out to be indeed feasible for simulations of (extreme) events. The visual side of an event can be integrated into SitCoM with ease, while programming experience is required for the impact side. |
