  1. Command and Control Visualization NAVCIITI Tasks 2.1b

  2. Command and Control Visualization Task 2.1b Objectives Extend the DIVERSE API to facilitate its use by Task 2.1a researchers. Personnel: John Kelso, Co-PI Andrew Ray, Dan Larimer, student developers Year 5 Funding: $110,527

  3. So what is DIVERSE? • Software to facilitate the display and creation of device independent virtual environments • A framework to support highly reconfigurable asynchronous distributed simulations

  4. DIVERSE features: • Applications run unmodified on all supported devices- real/simulated, local/remote. • With a variety of input/output devices, • With any number of navigation and interaction techniques. • Additional functionality loaded at run-time. • Free open source, both cost and redistribution.

  5. DIVERSE has three modules: • DTK- the DIVERSE Toolkit • All non-graphical functionality- I/O, networking • C++ Base classes • Other modules us it as a foundation • DPF- the DIVERSE graphics interface to Performer • Supports Performer graphics • DGL- the DIVERSE graphics interface to OpenGL • Supports OpenGL graphics

  6. Task 2.1b year 4 accomplishments: • Ported DTK to windows • Ported input and navigation tools from DPF to DTK • Same tools now used by DGL and DPF • Created collaborative virtual worlds using DPF • Multiple networked users share same virtual world • Awareness tools provide information about other users in virtual world, and state of objects in virtual world • DGL beta released- support for desktop and immersive configurations

  7. DIVERSE in the larger community In addition to supporting NAVCIITI task 2.1a, DIVERSE is being used by other VE researchers, because…

  8. Open source model means developments by one can be used by all: • DIVERSE has generated an additional $300,000 in non-Navy funding, but Navy gets to use the work. Open source license has allowed others to use DIVERSE at no cost: • Corporate and Government Research labs. • Universities and high schools.

  9. Who else uses DIVERSE? NUWC: • Simulation- Based Design slide

  10. Who else uses DIVERSE? NIST: • Visualization of complex data sets. • Volume visualization • Haptic devices for probing data set densities.

  11. Who else uses DIVERSE? TASC: (IT Division of Northrup-Gruman) • Multi-user Battlefield visualization • Immersive collaboration tools

  12. Local DIVERSE projects: Immersive SmokeView • Visualization of fire propagation through structures • In conjunction with NIST

  13. Local DIVERSE projects: D_AtomView • Collaborative interactive visualization of molecular time-series data

  14. Task 2.1b year 5 objectives: • DGL development: • Release a stable, documented 1.0 version, including example programs • Support for other open-source scenegraphs • Currently supports Inventor • Port to other platforms • Windows, Mac OS X, Sun • Prototype distributed immersive visualization cluster • Add security layer to DTK networking

  15. “The work performed at VT under the NAVCIITI project has had an invaluable impact on the Navy's initiatives to assess virtual reality technology within the context of warfighter needs.”Ken Lima, Principle Investigator at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport, RI
