Abstract
A set of files is in a first format resulting from running a computer simulation. A sequence of the files is created based on an order in which the files relate to the simulation. The files are converted from the first format to a second format, the second format being usable for rendering the files by a virtual reality tool. A virtual simulation is run in a virtual reality environment using the converted files.
Claims20
A system, comprising a computing device having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the computing device is configured to:
- receive a set of files in a first format resulting from running a computer simulation;
- create a sequence of the files based on an order in which the files relate to the simulation;
- convert the files from the first format to a second format, the second format being usable for rendering the files by a virtual reality tool;
- and
- run a virtual simulation in a virtual reality environment using the converted files.
A computer readable medium having instructions executable by a processor tangibly embodied thereon, the instructions including instructions to:
- receive a set of files in a first format resulting from running a computer simulation;
- create a sequence of the files based on an order in which the files relate to the simulation;
- convert the files from the first format to a second format, the second format being usable for rendering the files by a virtual reality tool;
- and
- run a virtual simulation in a virtual reality environment using the converted files.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a set of files in a first format resulting from running a computer simulation;
- creating a sequence of the files based on an order in which the files relate to the simulation converting the files from the first format to a second format, the second format being usable for rendering the files by a virtual reality tool;
- running a virtual simulation in a virtual reality environment using the converted files.
