Applications and a Three-dimensional Desktop Environment for an Immersive Virtual Reality System
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 “teleportation” into the application’s VR space. After analyzing the simulation data using the application, the user can jump back into Multiverse’s VR desktop environment in the CAVE.

The Benefits of Statistical Visualization in an Immersive Environment
We have created an immersive application for statistical graphics and have investigated what benefits it offers over more traditional data analysis tools. This paper presents a description of both the traditional data analysis tools and our virtual environment, and results of an experiment designed to determine if an immersive environment based on the XGobi desktop system provides advantages ov...
متن کاملSpelunking: Experiences using the DIVE System on CAVE-like Platforms
The Distributed Interactive Virtual Environment (DIVE) system is a mature toolkit that has been used for prototyping many collaborative virtual environment (CVE) applications [3]. Until recently, support for immersive systems has been limited to custom support for specific installations and the emphasis has been on broad support for desktop interfaces. Recently we have ported DIVE to the CAVEli...

We have built a framework for using 3D modelling applications in an immersive virtual environment. In this paper we compare our immersive user interface made for an existing application to its original 2D desktop counterpart. The immersive 3D user interface was built on top of a generic distributed rendering framework on a cave–like virtual reality system. A test scenario was designed for compa...
متن کاملImmersive 3 D User Interface for Computer Animation Control
This paper describes a virtual reality -based method to control 3D animation. We chose a topic that is particularly difficult to control with traditional desktop applications – a particle system. Particle systems have the potential to create high-quality computer graphics, but they need lots of control data if one wants to create control their dynamics in detail. We have developed a new – more ...
