Transcription de la présentation

  1. Collaborative Visualization Environments Edward J. Wegman Center for Computational Statistics George Mason University

  2. Collaborative Visualization Environments • Immersive Environments • CAVE and PlatoCAVE • Design Issues • MiniCAVE • Further Design Considerations

  3. Immersive Environments

  4. Immersive Environments • Immersive • Multisensory • Vision – 3-D Stereo • Sound • Sometimes tactile • Visually Large • Not a computer screen • Not VRML

  5. Immersive Environments • We have tended to see VR in three generic categories • Individual Immersive Environments • Group Immersive Environments • Augmented Reality

  6. Immersive Methods

  7. Immersive Methods Our system originally consisted of Virtual Research Head Mounted Displays (HMD), Flock of Birds Tracking Unit, and a SGI Crimson VGXT. This was eventually replaced with a Onyx RE2 and later with a SGI Onyx II with infinite reality engine.

  8. Immersive Methods

  9. Immersive Methods • Problems with HMD • Low resolution • High tracking latency • No group interaction • PlatoCave • Motivated by Plato’s Republic • Motivated by Star Trek Holodeck • Motivated by $$$ from ONR, ARO, NSF

  15. PlatoCAVE • PlatoCAVE Construction • Room 20 ft each side • 1 Projection Wall - 15 ft Diagonal • SGI Onyx II with Infinite Reality Graphics • Stereographics Projector • 120 Frames per second • CrystalEyes Shutter Glasses

  16. PlatoCAVE

  17. PlatoCAVE

  18. PlatoCAVE

  19. PlatoCAVE The PlatoCAVE is an example of an augmented reality environment. We say “augmented reality” because the shutter glasses are transparent when being used. So not only is the wearer able to see the computer generated images in stereoscopic 3-D, but also the real environment including others in the PlatoCAVE and also his or her own body. This is generally not possible with HMDs.

  20. CAVE • CAVE Construction • Carolina Cruz-Neira • 12 Foot Cube • 3 Walls + Floor • SGI VGX • 4 CRT Projectors • CrystalEyes Shutter Glasses • Head TRacking

  22. Design Considerations

  23. Design Considerations

  24. Design Considerations

  25. Design Consideration

  26. Design Considerations

  27. Design Considerations

  28. Design Considerations • Angular Parallax • Large parallax impedes stereo fusion • Synchronization of Focus and Parallax • Placement Behind Screen Improves Both Issues

  29. Design Considerations • Head Tracking • 6 degrees of freedom for HMD • 3 degrees of freedom for Projection Systems • Optimal for one viewer only • Distortion and Latency • Not good for group interaction • Compromise • Select one nominal viewpoint

  30. Design Considerations

  31. Design Considerations

  32. MiniCAVE • Replace SGI with PC running NT and AGP graphics card with -channel • Replace CRT projector with stereo pairs LCD Projector • Add voice recognition

  40. Present Status • MiniCAVE is awaiting permanent installation. • U.S. Patent has been issued for MiniCAVE environment. • Implemented for <$20,000.
