The Application Of3D Visualization Technology In Digital Coal Mines

The technology of Virtual Reality (VR for short) is new developing since the90thlast century and this new technology is growing fast after it was invented. Thistechnology combines most of the computer technologies and other multi-medias, torebuild a virtual environment which is almost the same with the target environment onscreens. The observers will make researches and analysis according to the virtualenvironment. Nowadays the application of this technology is broad in many socialfields, which contains medical treatment, city construction, military, geology and soon.“Digital Mine” has became a hot direction of geological researches since thesociety is growing into informatization. The old patterns of mines production can notfit the needs nowadays. So the Digital Mine will become the main direction in thefuture. Digital Coal Mine is one of the branches of the Digital Mine.This article combines the technology of Virtual Reality and Digital Coal Minetogether. The article mainly analysis the needs of coal mines in productions, thepresent situations of coal mines in our country, the3D mathematical models, thedifferent modular in this management system and the technologies if3D visualization.The main tools used by this article is VS2005program.D3D technology and theAccess2005. This article mainly describe the application of3D Visualizationtechnology in digital coal mines.
