ABSTRACT- In this paper, the use of head mounted display immersive virtual reality (VR) is investigated as both a cable harness design routing and an assembly planning tool. Due to the nature of this technology being more intuitive as an interface for generating design and process planning

This paper describes an immersive virtual reality system for steel structures. The system integrates standard models and formats for representing structural steel and three-dimensional graphic objects with a framework for device independent virtual environments. The result is an immersive virtual

the past two years. At this early stage, active networks remain an open research area. However, we believe that we have made substantial progress towards providing a more flexible network layer while at the same time addressing the performance and security concerns raised by the presence of mobile code

, and usually require the complex set-up and integration of external marker-based tracking systems, immersive displays (e.g. CAVEs) and haptic devices. Moreover such approaches, being based on pre-fetched avatar models of the real objects, often result in a lack of realism and flexibility. In this paper we

We present an immersive system for exploring numerically simulated flow data through a model of a coronary artery graft. This tightly-coupled interdisciplinary project is aimed at understanding how to reduce the failure rate of these grafts. The visualization system provides a mechanism

The visual display transformation for virtual reality (VR) systems is typically much more complex than the standard viewing transformation discussed in the literature for conventional computer graphics. The process can be represented as a series of transformations, some of which contain parameters

Abstract. In this paper I will outline an augmented reality system based on high resolution omni-directional motion image capture, an immersive interactive projection environment, the iDome and multi-layered narrative strategies and applications for educational and entertainment use. This system

Over the last three years there has been increased interest in photo-realistic modelling and rendering techniques and a surge in popularity of imagebased rendering. These techniques aim to accurately model reality in order to generate virtual imagery that is indistinguishable from it

Introduction The problems faced by an individual trying to understand a software system are very difficult. As the size of software systems increases so do the complexities in understanding. A reasonable solution to this problem is the construction of software tools that assist us

We have developed software for modelling the perceptual effects of lens distortion in a real-time immersive environment. Lens designers and wearers of corrective eye-wear will benefit by the softwares ability to visualise and obtain immediate feedback of the effects of a given lens design
