Join us in the Howe Hall Auditorium to learn more about the unique work happening at the VRAC. The presentation will include an overview of the VRAC and our Human Computer Interaction graduate program, how 3D visuzliation works, and will include several 3D demonstrations using our 4K 3D projections system. Applications shown vary and may include exploring favorites such as the Virtual Universe, exploring the USS Ronald Reagan, and a system for advanced design prototyping. Graduate students from the VRAC also preset their research applications and discuss how visualization has evolved and is being used in industry and entertainment.
These presentations are free and open to the public, but you must RSVP because seating is limited.
Get your space geek on. The Virtual Universe is a fun application created for a undergraduate graphics course. The application takes you on a scale tour of our solar system, goes Top-Gun as you explore an astroid field, then transports you to a galaxy far far away to explore a rare binary solary system. This is going to be epic!
Begin your journey on the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan. Don't forget to duck as you pass under the wings of aircraft on the deck. Feel the rumble as you launch aircraft from the catipult, and don't jump if any aircraft make an unexpected flyby. This application was used to study logistics of experimental aircraft on the the deck, but now you get to roam the deck and get a first person point-of-view.
Not for the faint hearted. CSI has nothing on this application. This research example allows you to view MRI data reconstructed in 3D. You can view the data from every angle and see if you can make the proper diagnosis. This research was commercialized and spawned a loacl company, and is used at medial facilities and universities nation wide.
