A web-based solution supporting the integration of Virtual Reality environments in logistics applications

Distributed logistics applications can benefit from Virtual Reality (VR) environments. In the context of warehouses management, virtual warehouses can show, in a visually intuitive way, the positions of stacked goods, the best ways how those positions can be reached, and so on. This work introduces an integration approach of virtual environments in web-based logistics applications. Our solution consists in a simple and sound modelling of 3D virtual warehouses, and in a platform independent navigator that we have specifically built around the structural and behavioural characteristics of the resulting 3D scenes.
