Paper Abstract:
|
The accurate visualization of solar panel layouts plays a crucial role in the transition to renewable energy, as it improves
stakeholder communication and decision-making. Traditional static visualizations cannot dynamically represent
environmental factors, such as dynamic sun paths and shading, or the dynamic visualization of power generation, which
limits their effectiveness. This work addresses these limitations by leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality
(VR) to enable immersive, interactive 3D visualizations, configurations, and simulations of solar panel installations.
Our research focused on creating a real-time visualization system that serves various stakeholders through two key
solutions. First, our mobile AR solution offers a tabletop experience that enables users to interactively explore solar panel
layouts with precise light and shadow calculations, providing an intuitive understanding of spatial relationships. Second,
and complementarily, our VR solution supports multi-user sessions that enable real-time collaboration and interactive scene
customization in a shared virtual space. Furthermore, we present a unified core system that powers both AR and VR
applications, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and seamless cross-platform interaction. Technical achievements include
the integration of an online design tool for exporting and sharing 3D scenes via QR codes, the visualization of realistic
environmental simulations, and the facilitation of real-time collaborative adjustments in VR. These innovations
significantly improve stakeholder engagement and streamline the design process for solar panel layouts. By demonstrating
the effectiveness of immersive visualization techniques, this paper highlights the potential of AR and VR to drive renewable
energy solutions, promote informed decision-making, and accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy technologies. |
