Comparing Immersive Virtual Reality with Other Display Modes for Visualizing Complex 3D Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
This experimental research was aimed at determining whether or not immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology gives a user a measurable advantage over more conventional display methods when visualizing complex 3D geometry. Subjects were shown an abstract rod sculpture in a variety of display and display-control modes, and were tasked with assembling a physical replica of the sculpture they were visualizing. They were scored on the speed and accuracy with which they assembled their replica sculptures. Head-tracked immersive VR was shown to have a statistically significant advantage over joystick-controlled display modes, especially in the case where the displayed sculpture was shown in super-scale, surrounding the subject.

Comparing Immersive and Non-Immersive Virtual Reality User Interfaces for Management of Telecommunication Networks
Networks are becoming increasingly complex as a result of new technologies in hardware and software. Consequently, the traditional WIMP-based user interfaces are no longer suitable for management of large and high-speed broadband networks. In this paper we introduce two kinds of three-dimensional user interfaces: an immersive virtual reality user interface and a WWW-based flat screen 3D collabo...
متن کاملVirtual reality visualization of patient specific heart model
Background The diagnostic dilemma that arises with congenital cardiac anomalies is visualizing the 3-D complexity of a child’s heart with 2-D tools. The complicated intracardiac relationships and extracardiac connections make it challenging to diagnose the defect and plan treatment for the child. It has been demonstrated that it is difficult to reconstruct an accurate mental 3D model from 2D im...

A prototype system of visualizing interplanetary field has been developed using an immersive projection display. The system enables a user to observe global behavior of the interplanetary plasma in a virtual environment. The velocity and density fluctuations are measured with interplanetary scintillation method, and are analyzed by using computer topography technique. The analysis has produced ...
متن کاملSpeech/Gesture Interface to a Visual-Computing Environment
Although recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in 3D immersive display and virtual reality, the corresponding humancomputer interaction (HCI) technologies have lagged behind. Current interfaces involve heavy headsets, datagloves, tethers, and other virtual reality devices, which may deter or distract the user. To fully exploit VR’s potential for visualizing and interacting with comple...
متن کاملTowards a Novel OLAP Interface for Distributed Data Warehouses
We present a framework for visualizing remote distributed data sources using a multi-user immersive virtual reality environment. DIVE-ON is a system prototype that consolidates distributed data sources into a multidimensional data model, transports user-specified views to a 3D immersive display, and presents various data attributes and mining results as virtual objects in true 3D interactive vi...
