9512272 DeFanti The main focus of the proposed project is to create virtual-reality and virtual-prototyping instrumentation for viewing scientific and engineering data. The University has been involved in an ongoing development of the CAVE virtual-reality theater, a room-sized, high-resolution, projection-based system that enables users to experience good immersion in full 3D imagery. The goal of this proposed project is to broaden the scope for making the CAVE both smaller and larger. A smaller, software compatible, drafting-table format version, called ImmersaDesk, is being designed. It uses a high-end graphics system and projector for each ImmersaDesk, and a ATM gear to allow remote ImmersaDesk to ImmersaDesk collaborative design sessions. A larger high-resolution (1600 x 2048) stereo screen, called NII/Wall is being developed for large audiences. The NII/Wall will serve as a portal into networked scalable computers located around the country so scientists and engineers can interact with simulations running on distributed clusters of shared-memory processors. ***

拟议项目的主要重点是创建用于查看科学和工程数据的虚拟现实和虚拟原型仪器。该大学一直参与正在进行的CAVE虚拟现实影院的开发，这是一个房间大小、高分辨率、基于投影的系统，使用户能够体验到良好的全3D图像沉浸感。这个项目的目标是扩大CAVE的范围，使其既小又大。目前正在设计一种更小的、与软件兼容的绘图桌版本，名为ImmersaDesk。它为每个ImmersaDesk使用高端图形系统和投影仪，以及一个ATM设备，允许远程ImmersaDesk与ImmersaDesk协作设计会议。一种更大的高分辨率（1600 x 2048）立体屏幕，称为NII/Wall，正在为大量观众开发。NII/Wall将作为连接全国各地联网可扩展计算机的门户，这样科学家和工程师就可以与运行在分布式共享内存处理器集群上的模拟进行交互。＊＊＊
