Tutorial: From GAMA Model to Virtual Universe

This tutorial walks through building a complete VR simulation from an existing GAMA model. Starting from the traffic model in the GAMA library, you will generate a VR version using the SIMPLE wizard, set up the Unity scene, and add player interactions.

What you will build​

The result is a VR traffic simulation where a player navigates a city from a top-down view and can open or close roads. It demonstrates:

  • Generating a VR GAML model from an existing model using the SIMPLE wizard
  • Configuring the Unity scene to receive GAMA geometry data
  • Adding player interactions that affect the running simulation

Steps​

  1. Overview and requirements — what the tutorial covers and what you need installed
  2. Step 1 — Generate the VR GAML model — run the SIMPLE wizard in GAMA to scaffold the VR experiment
  3. Step 2 — Set up the Unity scene — open the Unity template and configure it to receive traffic model geometry
  4. Step 3 — Add interactions — enable players to open and close roads from inside VR
