Abstract
With the help of multi-touch interactive technology, we build up a virtual exhibit system for Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang in China to represent the carved murals, ancient scriptures and Dunhuang historical culture. We analyze the theory of multi-touch and evaluate the advantage of virtual reality interactive engine “Virtools”. A program is designed that can use the Multi-touch and the Behavior Interaction Module of Virtools to achieve the integration of Multi-touch Interaction. The virtual objects are created and artistically processed in “3Ds MAX” software. After that, we comply interact function for them in Virtools. By recording the change of location to the touch points and gestures, the moving, scaling and rotating to manipulate the images by fingers are achieved. Furthermore, we simulate the field of human eyes to panoramic tour the Mogao Grottoes. The proposed system can bring the user into a virtual world that is not only lifelike but also fantastic.
