A Survey on Immersive Visualization

Immersive Visualization of Supercomputer Applications: A Survey of Lag Models

The use of virtual reality has been demonstrated to be very useful in the visualization of science and the synthesis of vast amounts of data. Further, advances in high-speed networks makes feasible the coupling of remote supercomputer simulations and virtual environments. The critical performance issue to be addressed with this coupling is the end-to-end lag time (i.e., the delay between a user...

Lattice-based Immersive Visualization

Minimally Immersive Flow Visualization

This paper describes a minimally immersive interactive system for flow visualization of multivariate volumetric data. The system, SFA, uses perceptuallymotivated rendering to increase the quantity and clarity of information perceived. Proprioception, stereopsis, perceptually-motivated shape visualization, and three-dimensional interaction are combined in SFA to allow the three-dimensional volum...

A geoscience perspective on immersive 3D gridded data visualization

We describe visualization software, Visualizer, that was developed specifically for interactive, visual exploration in immersive virtual reality (VR) environments. Visualizer uses carefully optimized algorithms and data structures to support the high frame rates required for immersion and the real-time feedback required for interactivity. As an application developed for VR from the ground up, V...

A PC - based immersive visualization environment

This paper describes X-Rooms, a PC-based immersive visualization environment with integrated spatial audio, video and graphics. The concept is similar to the original CAVE® [1], but it uses a novel web-based visualization system running on top of a PCcluster with Windows XP installed. Compared to other common installations based on expensive high-end unix graphics systems, costs are reduced by ...
