Virtual Reality Toolbox

What Is the Virtual Reality Toolbox?

The Virtual Reality Toolbox is a solution for viewing and interacting with dynamic systems in a three-dimensional virtual reality environment. It extends the capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink into the world of virtual reality graphics.

• Virtual worlds -- Create virtual worlds or three-dimensional scenes using standard Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) technology.
• Dynamic systems -- Create and define dynamic systems with MATLAB and Simulink.
• Animation -- View moving three-dimensional scenes driven by signals from the Simulink environment.
• Manipulation -- Change the position and properties of objects in a virtual world, or change parameters in your Simulink model while running a simulation.

To provide a complete working environment, the Virtual Reality Toolbox includes additional components:

• VRML viewer -- Use either the Virtual Reality Toolbox viewer or, for PC platforms, the blaxxun Contact plug-in for Web browsers to display your virtual worlds.
• VRML editor -- For PC platforms, use V-Realm Builder to create and edit VRML code. For UNIX or Linux platforms, use the MATLAB text editor to write VRML code to create virtual worlds.
