An Investigation of Workability Experiment for Crowd Modeling in 360º Panoramic View in George Town, Malaysia on Mobile Platform

Abstract

In the computer graphics industry, there is a great demand for cost and time effective simulation and rendering while meeting an acceptable level of realism. Hardware based simulation and rendering has been taken to another degree of low level of details in environment modelling with grandeur of peoples. This paper presents an investigation to find out the feasibility of deploying crowd in 3600 panoramic view using the mobile platform as the case study. Crowd modelling within panoramic view is the first attempt in adding extra information i.e. crowd to the heritage sites in panoramic view. First, the crowds are modelled through some modifications to the Newtonian Laws, inclusion of proxy agents, speed control and turning. Second, workability tests experiments are carried out concerning the preferred parameters for each agent, improvement on random movements of the crowd and dynamicity, with the capability of collision avoidance. Finally, this investigation is discussed and has proposed some solutions in handling crowd in 3600 panoramic view on mobile platform.
