Enclosed Five-Wall Immersive Cabin
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel custom-built 3D immersive environment, called the Immersive Cabin (IC). The IC is fully enclosed with an automatic door on the rear screen, and thus very different from existing CAVE environments. Our IC, the construction of the projection screens and stereo projectors as well as the calibration procedure are explained in details. The projectors are driven by our Visual Computing cluster for computation and rendering. Three applications that have been developed on the IC are described, 3D virtual colonoscopy, dispersion simulation for urban security, and 3D imagery and artistic creations.

projection display, is a room-sized, five-screen system that can display both computer graphics and video images. Several Cabins connected via a broadband network form the Cabinet system. Cabinet includes video avatars—a key new technology for sharing virtual worlds. Using video avatars, we have experimentally evaluated the ability to express positional information between distant users. I mmer...
متن کاملAdvanced Visualization and Interactive Applications in the Immersive Cabin
We present a visualization and interaction framework for the Immersive Cabin (IC), which is a 5-wall CAVE-like immersive 3D environment. The back-end rendering is provided by a cluster of 5 workstations with 2 NVIDIA Quadro GPUs each. We utilize a pair of projectors for each wall and an external LCD shutter system that is synchronized with active stereo glasses. Each workstation produces a sync...
متن کاملImmersive Virtual Colonoscopy
Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) is an established noninvasive alternative to optical colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. Currently, radiologists examine VC data sets on a workstation computer using a single screen and simple navigation tools. The limited field of view increases examination time and introduces tedious interaction modalities. We propose conducting VC examinations inside an imme...
متن کاملAscent: Airliner Sensor and Cabin Environment Network
This paper describes a wireless sensor network prototype with the use of reconfigurable hardware for airliner cabin environment research. Commercial airplane passengers and crews breathe a mixture of outside and re-circulated air, similar to many homes and offices. But the cabin environment is unique, due to the proximity of the passengers, the need for cabin pressurization, the low humidity, a...
متن کاملRisk assessment of airborne infectious diseases in aircraft cabins.
UNLABELLED Passengers in an aircraft cabin can have different risks of infection from airborne infectious diseases such as influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and tuberculosis (TB) because of the non-uniform airflow in an aircraft cabin. The current investigation presents a comprehensive approach to assessing the spatial and temporal distributions of airborne infection risk in ...
