Energy Visualization Techniques for Machine Tools in Virtual Reality

Modular Virtual Reality Visualization Tools

We describe a collection of tools designed to be used in a Modular Visualization Environment (MVE) that facilitate the use of a Virtual Reality (VR) input device. VR input devices provide the means to easily and intuitively specify information which is threeor six-dimensional. Many scientific visualization tasks require this type of information. Our goal is to reduce the user interface complexi...

Visualization Techniques for Virtual Endoscopy Visualization Techniques for Virtual Endoscopy

Virtual Endoscopy is a technique to explore hollow organs and anatomical cavities using 3D medical imaging and computer graphics. Virtual Endoscopy turns out to be a promising technique to improve, or even in some procedures substitute, real endoscopy. A real endoscopy is invasive and usually implies some risk for the patient. In the last decades, much research has been done in this field. This...

Scientific visualization in virtual reality - interaction techniques and application development

tools: In addition to these spatial tools we have also created abstract tools such as the color mapper widget and the time control widget. These widgets can be connected to the color mapper and the data sources, and provide direct interactive control of these abstract parameters of the visualization pipeline. Although the design and implementation of the basic concept itself took a substantial ...

Tools and Techniques for Managing Virtual Machine Images

Virtual machines can have many different deployment scenarios and therefore may require generation of multiple VM images. OS Farm is a service that aims to provide VM images that are tailored and generated on the fly. In order to optimize generation of images, a layered copy-on-write image structure is used, and an image cache ensures that identical images are not regenerated. Images can be sev...
