Virtual architecture method and apparatus

摘要

Three-dimensional geometric data of an architecture is generated, and image mapping data is generated by mapping a texture representing a pattern on the surface of the generated three-dimensional geometric data. A reflection of a virtual space is generated on the basis of the generated three-dimensional geometric data and image mapping data, and is changed in correspondence with movement of the viewpoint and/or the line of sight of the operator, so that the operator can interactively experience the virtual space of the architecture.
