Research and Application of Virtual Reality Technology Based on 3D Modelling and VRML

A 3D model was created with Software Surpac for Fankou Lead-zinc Mine including terrain,stratum,fault,oremass and drift,which was then created in format of DTM. After that,it was converted to WRL format which can be transferred over internet by HTML programming,thus achieving 3D mine model being browsed and downloaded from website without using the professional software. It is important for virtual reality technology being popularized throughout mine and used in the mine's operation activities,including resource assessment,mining design,mining scheduling and disaster control.
