Design and Implementation of an Immersive Geoscience Toolkit

چکیده
Having a better way to represent and to interact with large geological models are topics of high interest in geoscience, and especially for oil and gas companies. We present in this paper the design and implementation of a visualization program that involves two main features. It is based on the central data model, in order to display in real time the modifications caused by the modeler. Furthermore, it benefits from the different immersive environments which give the user a much more accurate insight of the model than a regular computer screen. Then, we focus on the difficulties that come in the way of performance.

The promise of immersive virtual environment (VE) applications has been that they can make interaction with computer information and processes easier by providing a medium that more closely matches the user’s real environment. Meeting this promise, however, has proven to be difficult, as the interface between the user and the computer is not complete, the metaphors for interacting with informat...

In this study, various functions that are required in an immersive shared virtual world were categorized into some groups such as sharing space, sharing users, sharing operations, sharing information and sharing time. Then the MVL Toolkit was developed to implement these functions. The MVL Toolkit contains several new technologies such as the stereo video avatar, the sharedtype database, the ce...
متن کاملVirtual 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...
