MRI: Instrumentation Development for Human-Centered Tele-Immersion

EIA-9871058 作者：DeFanti，托马斯A. 作者：Maxine D. 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 MRI：以人为中心的远程沉浸仪器开发 位于芝加哥的伊利诺伊大学电子可视化实验室（EVL）在过去十年中开发了一个积极的计划，与全国各地的数十名计算科学家和工程师合作。 这项工作的重点是创建可视化和虚拟现实（VR）设备和应用程序，用于科学和工程数据的协作探索。 自1995年以来，EVL的研究和开发活动已经纳入了新兴的高带宽网络，如vBNS，现在被称为远程沉浸。 由于过去在构建第一代和第二代VR设备以支持这些应用方面的经验，EVL现在希望对第三代VR设备进行研究，以构建可变分辨率和桌面/办公室大小的显示器。 由于目前还没有一种技术可以配置理想的分辨率和尺寸，因此需要用可用的部件来模拟这些设备，然后构建更先进的原型。 该提案要求大量设备资金用于购买、评估和集成各种新兴显示设备，如大型彩色等离子显示器、LCD投影仪、LED面板、Feffo-电液晶显示器和数字微距镜显示器。 该提案还要求资金购买新的工作站，供EVL的50多名学生和十几名教职员工使用。 该提案旨在进行长期的基本显示配置研究和开发。

EIA-9871058 DeFanti, Thomas A. Brown, Maxine D. University of Illinois Chicago MRI: Instrumentation Development for Human-Centered Tele-Immersion The Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago has developed an aggressive program over the past decade to partner with dozens of computations scientists and engineers all over the Nation. The focus of this effort has been to create visualization and virtual reality (VR) devices and applications for collaborative exploration of scientific and engineering data. Since 1995, the EVL research and development activities have incorporated emerging high bandwidth networks like the vBNS, in an effort now called Tele-Immersion. As a result of past experience in building first and second generation VR devices to support these applications, the EVL now wishes to conduct research in third-generation VR devices to construct variable resolution and desktop/office-sized displays. Since no current technology is yet configurable with ideal resolution and size, there is a need to simulate these devices with available parts, and then build more advanced prototypes. This proposal requests significant equipment funds to buy, evaluate, and integrate a variety of emerging display devices, such as large color plasma displays, LCD projectors, LED panels, Feffo-electric Liquid Crystal displays and Digital Macro Mirror Displays. This proposal also requests funds to purchase new workstations for use by the EVL's 50+ students, and dozen faculty and staff. The proposal aims at long-term, basic display configuration research and development.
