چکیده

One of these tasks is a process called "transformer" that transforms the Objects defined in Real World coordinates into viewing coordinates (Image Space) according to the viewing position and direction. Objects are represented by planar and convex polygons. In this way the viewing transformation of objects is reduced to the transformation of points, namely the vertices of the polygons. The transformer process will perform (4 X 4)-vector­ matrix multiplication using homogeneous coordinates, clipping and, then, perspective transformation to obtain the illusion of depth.

Application of Parallel Processing to Rendering in a Virtual Reality System

This paper describes a number of parallel rendering strategies that were tested in order to determine their suitability for use in virtual reality systems. Each strategy was implemented on a cluster of transputers and evaluated with respect to rendering speed and interaction latency. Strategies were developed that are better suited to parallel virtual reality systems than the standard graphics ...
