VOLUMETRIC VISUALIZATION METHODS FOR ATMOSPHERIC MODEL DATA IN AN IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
Michael P. Dye, J. S. Harris, Philip A. McDonald, William R. Sherman · 2007
We present the design and implementation of an immersive interactive volumetric visualization system. This system was designed to allow atmospheric modelers to visualize their simulations in an immersive environment such as our Fakespace FLEX system. By allowing them to play back the entire simulation as well as choose what airborne par-ticulates to turn on and off atmospheric scientists are given an incredible degree of control regarding what to study and look at from any angle with amazing detail at the interac-tions between particulates in a simulation and interactions of the particulates with surrounding terrain.
