Abstract:

In order to provide a userfriendly interface to control smart appliances for home users, we use virtual reality technology to create 3D models of the house, and allow the users to interact with the appliance control system immersingly. The virtual tour system based on Microsofts DXUT(the DirectX Utility Library) framework is designed using Visual C++ 2010 as the development platform, in the roaming process, user can select smart appliances and interact with them. In actual use, the user get a very good experience and the controling of intelligent home appliances are also very convenient.

Key words: virtual reality, collision detection, objects picked up, 3D modeling
