Interactive Visualization - Final Report of NCMS Project Number 140208

Visual simulation technology has been available in the market for several years, and has been used selectively in high-end graphical applications. Use of the technology for practical applications has typically been limited in deployment due to the traditionally high costs of these types of systems, as well as previously awkward methods (special viewing glasses or lenses or sometimes in sacrifice of quality of the image) of being able to easily “view” the results. The Interactive Visualization project achieved the goal of understanding where and how to apply the enhanced visualization technology for benefit in targeted applications areas, while also identifying areas of improvement or modifications of the technology that would better enhance the objectives of the individual projects.
