A.C.T.I.V.E.: A scalable superellipsoid-based CFD visualization for virtual and desktop environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a flexible software (A.C.T.I.V.E.) able to visualize the superellipsoidal glyphs describing the orientation of short fibres during the dynamic process of casting a short fibre reinforced composite in a container. The software is designed to run on the VRUI framework and it features an optional face-tracking to grant a more natural interaction also on standard non-3D displays. Due to its flexibility it can be used on a wide range of environments, from desktop computer to multi-screen CAVE-like systems.

Virtual Reality-Based Interactive Scientific Visualization Environments
Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has some production applications (e.g., in vehicle design and psychiatric treatment), but it is often viewed as an expensive, over-hyped technology with insufficient and/or unproven benefit over conventional desktop systems. With steady research progress at many institutions and advances in hardware and software technologies, immersive scientific visualization is...

This document is a final report of the research completed by The Brown University Graphics Group under NASA Research Grant NAG 2-830, April 1993 to March 1997. The focus of this grant was to experiment with novel user interfaces for immersive virtual reality (VR) systems, and thus to advance the state of the art of user interface technology for this domain. Our primary test application was a sc...
متن کاملDirect Manipulation of Isosurfaces and Cutting Planes in Virtual Environments
This paper presents some novel interface techniques for the visualization of scalar field data in virtual reality environments. In particular, we discuss the direct manipulation of isosurfaces and cutting planes and give general guidelines for design of user interfaces and algorithms for scientific visualization in virtual environments. This work was motivated by the need to visualize scalar fi...
متن کاملARTICLE IN PRESS 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...
متن کاملViewer Perception of Superellipsoid-based Accelerometer Visualization Techniques
Viewer perceptions of superellipsoid-based glyphs representing trend analysis of tri-axial accelerometer data are studied in this paper. A trend analysis and its mapping to the superellipsoid parameters is proposed. Detailed results from a viewer survey about the usefulness of such glyphs are presented. Survey results indicate that approximately 60% of the respondents correctly identified the t...
