“…Virtual-reality interfaces offer several advantages for scientific visualization [4,7] Multidimensional scientific data are visualized using flexible virtual objects that provide an abstract representation of the locations of equilibria. Direct manipulation of the virtual objects allows intuitive exploration of the data and facilitates the discovery of features, which would be otherwise difficult to find via conventional visualization methods.…”

Visibility volumes for interactive path optimization

We describe a real-time system that supports design of optimal flight paths over terrains. These paths either maximize view coverage or minimize vehicle exposure to ground. A volume-rendered display of multi-viewpoint visibility and a haptic interface assists the user in selecting, assessing, and refining the computed flight path. We design a three-dimensional scalar field representing the visibility of a point above the terrain, describe an efficient algorithm to compute the visibility field, and develop visual and haptic schemes to interact with the visibility field. Given the origin and destination, the desired flight path is computed using an efficient simulation of an articulated rope under the influence of the visibility gradient. The simulation framework also accepts user input, via the haptic interface, thereby allowing manual refinement of the flight path.

We describe the zonal map, a data structure used for the visualization of large, time dependent molecular configurations in virtual environments. The governing idea of the zonal map is to use the user's line of sight to define a region of interest onto which time critical algorithms can be applied. Two examples of time critical algorithms are given: for computing and rendering of solvent-accessible surfaces of protein molecules. We show that substantial performance gains can be obtained by using the zonal map.

“…These sound spatialization techniques and systems are mostly used for building various virtual reality environments, such as the Cave [5] or CyberStage [6], [8]. Recently, sound spatialization has also been included in limited ways in various 3D environments such as Community Place's implementation of VRML [12], ET++ [1], or proprietary, low-cost infrastructures [3].…”

“…Several works addressed the issue of navigating in virtual worlds with spatialized sounds. The most spectacular are probably the Cave system [5] or CyberStage [8], in which the user is immersed in a fully-equipped room with surrounding images and sound. Although the resulting systems are usually very realistic, their cost and availability are still prohibitive.…”

Abstract. We propose a system for controlling in real time the localisation of sound sources. The system, called MidiSpace, is a real time spatializer of Midi music. We raise the issue of which interface is the most adapted for using MidiSpace. Two interfaces are proposed: a 2D interface for controlling the position of sound sources with a global view of the musical setup, and a 3D/VRML interface for moving the listener's avatar. We report on the design of these interfaces and their respective advantages, and conclude on the need for a mixed interface for spatialization.
