The Real-time 3D is a method of representation of three-dimensional data, each image making up animation is reproduced immediately before its display. The real-time 3D is best known for video games, but it has also many other applications.

Daumas Autheman et Associés uses this technology for the architectural visualization, virtual reality, simulations, or real-time monitoring industrial zone.

The 3D real-time visualization allows significant interactivity with the 3D scene represented:

• Animation control
• Immersion in the scene,
• Local information search
• Scenarios visualization …

Below we present as an example, a real-time 3D representation made by Daumas Autheman et Associés for a client in port field.

Real-time 3D viewing a containers park

Viewing station presents the state of park in real-time from operating information received in real-time from sensors and park location information. It allows an intuitive navigation and a realistic representation of park, containers and park’s equipment.

Main functions:

• Park faithful representation:

o Representation of the containers, locations and equipment

o Representation of the environment (geography, buildings, brightness, etc)

• The possibility of locate each item on Park:

o Location, container, equipment, ship

• Overall supervision:

o Event notification

o Identification of components and containers on a view

o Overview of an area by moving camera

o Evolution of security zones
