Illustrates the use of the Simulink® 3D Animation™ MATLAB® interface. In a step-by-step tutorial, it shows commands for querying and manipulating virtual world objects. You will learn about virtual world structures and then navigate a virtual car along a path through the mountains.

Illustrates the use of the Simulink® 3D Animation™ with the MATLAB® interface for manipulating complex objects.

Illustrates the use of Simulink® 3D Animation™ MATLAB® interface to create 2D off-line animation files.

Illustrates the possibility to convert generally available Digital Elevation Models into VRML format for use in virtual reality scenes.

The vrplanets example shows the dynamic visualization of the first 4 planets of the Solar system, Moon orbiting around Earth and Sun rotating itself. The model uses the real properties of the spatial bodies. Only the relative planet sizes and the distance between the Earth and the Moon are adjusted to provide an interesting view.

This model is a variant of the vrtkoff example that shows also how to display signal values as text in the virtual scene and a simple Head-Up Display (HUD).
