Virgilio: A Non-Immersive VR System to Browse Multimedia Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce Virgilio, a system which supports the construction of nonimmersive VR-based visualizations of complex data objects representing the result of a query performed on a multimedia database. Virgilio takes as input the dataset resulting from a query on a generic database, displays attribute values of the dataset on virtual world objects according to the capability of these objects to represent the proper type of data, represents semantic relationships among the objects in the dataset using the containment relationship and creates a corresponding visual representation composed of a collection of Virtual Reality Modeling Language scenes.

متن کاملApplications and a Three-dimensional Desktop Environment for an Immersive Virtual Reality System
We developed an application launcher called Multiverse for scientific visualizations in a CAVE-type virtual reality (VR) system. Multiverse can be regarded as a type of three-dimensional (3D) desktop environment. In Multiverse, a user in a CAVE room can browse multiple visualization applications with 3D icons and explore movies that float in the air. Touching one of the movies causes “teleporta...
