“…This is an important feature that allows our approach to be used by a wider range of hardware platforms. This is further enhanced by the use of VieGen [3], which helps ensure that our approach will also be platform independent. VieGen allows us to use simple confirguration files to specify different VR configurations easily.…”

As Terabyte datasets become the norm, the focus has shifted away from our ability to produce and store ever larger amounts of data, onto its utilization. It is becoming increasingly difficult to gain meaningful insights into the data produced. Also many forms of the data we are currently producing cannot easily fit into traditional visualization methods. This paper presents a new and novel visualization technique based on the concept of a Data Forest. Our Data Forest has been designed to be used with virtual reality (VR) as its presentation method. VR is a natural medium for investigating large datasets. Our approach can easily be adapted to be used in a variety of different ways, from a stand alone single user environment to large multi-user collaborative environments. A test application is presented using multi-dimensional data to demonstrate the concepts involved.

With the increasingly depravation of Earth environment, environmental education is gaining more and more concern all over the world. The potential value of virtual reality technology in environmental education is analyzed. A metaphorbased generic architecture of virtual reality systems as environmental learning tools is proposed. A vivid example of ecosystem simulation is presented, and the students' attitudes towards educational virtual environments are studied. The statistic data show that the application of virtual reality in environmental education can not only raise educational quality, but also solve some existing problems on environmental experiments.

“…Our two different environments have been developed using a single framework, VieGen [8], which is used for the creation and control of Virtual Interactive Environments. It aims to provide users with limited technical ability the power to create their own virtual environments without the need of learning a complex programming language.…”

Abstract. Virtual Reality (VR) has been used in a variety of forms to assist in the treatment of a wide range of psychological illness. VR can also fulfil the need that psychologists have for safe environments in which to conduct experiments. Currently the main barrier against using this technology is the complexity in developing applications. This paper presents two different co-operative psychological applications which have been developed using a single framework. These applications require different levels of co-operation between the users and clients, ranging from full psychologist involvement to their minimal intervention. This paper will also discuss our approach to developing these different environments and our experiences to date in utilising these environments.
