Abstract
Coal mining, regarded as a high-risk industry, has strongly demand on Virtual Reality (VR) training environment for safety mining and emergency rescue. In order to solve the problems of the current VR platform of lack of immersive experience and interest, a Browser/Client VR simulation system are designed and realized. Three key techniques are studies, including cloud rendering, AI behavior tree and mining disaster animation. Unlike WebGL and HTML5, cloud rendering provides photo-realistic quality. 2 AI characters are designed to guide users to have an overall understanding of the mine and experience the effect mine disasters. The system has been successfully applied in the Virtual Reality Teaching and Experiment Laboratory for undergraduate in China University of Mining & Technology-Beijing. The research, as a new tool for miner training and disaster drilling, has a signification meaning of the work safety IT construction.
