1st Edition
Intelligent Virtual System for Underwater Vehicle Piloting using Unity™
This book supports readers in the development of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pilot training simulator by exploiting open-source or free gaming software and emphasizing the importance of using established and widely-available game design techniques to provide engaging scenarios for ROV training developers and trainees. There is no such book to guide the users to create an open-source virtual simulator for pilot training in the marine and offshore industry. This book can be used as a reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students, engineers, researchers, and lecturers in VR simulation using UnityTM as the leading software.
Some of the key features of the book include:
• Step-by-step procedures in development ROV pilot training simulator
• Use of open-source software UnityTM that is freely available to all readers
• The codes used in the book are self-sufficient as there are no codes hidden from readers
Chapter 1: Introduction to Unity. Chapter 2: Development of ROV’s Pilot Training Platform Using Unity. Chapter 3: Results and Discussion. Chapter 4: Conclusion. Appendix A: TRV-M ROV Technical Specification Sheet. Appendix B: Functions of the Properties Used in Unity. Appendix C: Joystick Software Installation. Appendix D: Scripts.
