TunnelVR - An easy way to draw 3D surveys that makes sense to people

Abstract

Our standard flat 2D survey drawings are unreadable to people who are unfamiliar with the symbols and layout. Even to those familiar with the form, these maps often fail to capture or express the shape and structure of the caves they represent. Nowadays cheap and available Virtual Reality hardware with the Godot games engine makes it possible to draw cave surveys from the inside (the way they were experienced), but then view and interact with the 3D model on a normal smart phone. Demos will be provided to anyone at anytime during the conference.
