Commodity Passive Stereo Graphics for Collaborative Display of Ocean Model Output
نویسندگان
چکیده
Commodity hardware has been used to build a lowcost, passive, stereo-immersive virtual reality visualization system with the functionality of the ImmersaDesk in a small and portable package. The cost is low because it utilizes free stereo display software, in combination with commodity hardware that is readily available off-the-shelf for computer game users. Commonly known as a “GeoWall”, this system has been successfully deployed at many academic institutions. With this highly portable system, immersive visualization of model output can be realized on the scientist's desktop, or shared with a wide audience, at five percent (or less) of the cost of other large-format display systems such as the CAVE and the ImmersaDesk.
