Chulalongkorn Interactive Virtual Memorial Hall (Museum)

Chulalongkorn University Memorial Hall is an important historic landmark in Thailand that collects and displays valuable and interesting documents and items from the history of the Chulalongkorn University, which is the first university established by the Thai dynasty. Many notable historical relics from Chulalongkorn University have been displayed for visitors inside the museum, including a miniature of King Chulalongkorn's equestrian statue, a coronet (Phra Kiew), and a graduation gown. Over the past two years, due to the COVID-19 situation, the number of visitors to the museum has been restricted. Therefore, we propose to solve this problem by introducing a virtual tour using virtual reality to cope with this challenging situation. This paper presents a description related to the Chulalongkorn University memorial hall in terms of 3D models through interactions in a virtual reality world, in which users gain in-depth experience and knowledge about the history of the Thai Royal and the Chulalongkorn University. Both the internal and external of the Chulalongkorn University Memorial Hall building are reproduced in 3D models, including furniture and belongings in the hall, for simulating the entire Chulalongkorn University Memorial Hall building. In addition to visiting the historical objects in the virtual museum, these objects are interactable with multimedia descriptions which are text, images, videos, and audio commentary. It makes visitors enjoy the ambiance while visiting the virtual Chulalongkorn University Memorial Hall. In addition, it is also the preservation of valuable cultural and historical knowledge resources. © 2022 ACM.

Development of a Virtual Telecommunication System Research Laboratory

Researchers are utilizing cutting-edge technology to accelerate the discovery of solutions to stop the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual reality (VR) also provides a vital role in the operation against this outbreak. Daily tasks have remained unchanged since life has entirely halted. The method for recovering people's lives and enabling them to work from home is described in this article. The digital Telecom Lab at Chulalongkorn University was developed using virtual 3D technology. Several methods were employed gradually to build this lab. The VR lab was developed using Unity, a cross-platform game engine, to deliver the greatest experience. The actual outcome, which was created with the expertise of Blender and Unity, is incredibly immersive. © 2022 Asia-Pacific of Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA).
