CISE Research Instrumentation: Augmented Reality and Interactive Distributed Physical Modeling

EIA-9986051Jannick P.Rolland中央佛罗里达大学CIE研究仪器：增强现实和交互式分布式物理模型中佛罗里达大学光学和计算机科学学院将购买专门用于支持计算机和信息科学与工程研究的硅图形计算机。该设备将用于几个项目，特别包括：1.增强现实建立增强现实可视化框架。该框架包括开发3D显示器，包括头盔设备；3D渲染深度的准确性和精确度的定量评估方法；基于物理的虚拟物体运动模型；真实和虚拟物体的配准方法；以及统计纹理合成。交互速度下的分布式物理建模框架扩展先前开发的分布式物理建模框架，以研究非同构机器集群的有效利用，并以交互速度向增强和虚拟现实系统提供数据。虚拟世界中的动态环境特征开发了在虚拟世界中动态生成植被的算法。这将需要设计新的详细程度的管理算法和轻量级通信协议来维护功能。

EIA-9986051Jannick P. RollandUniversity of Central FloridaCISE Research Instrumentation: Augmented Reality and Interactive Distributed Physical ModelingThe schools of Optics and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida will purchase Silicon Graphics computers that will be dedicated to support research in computer and information science and engineering. The equipment will be used for several projects, including in particular:1. Augmented RealityBuild a framework for augmented reality visualization. The framework includes the development of 3D displays, including head-mounted devices; quantitative assessment methods for accuracy and precision of 3D rendered depth; physically based models of motion of virtual objects; registration methods for real and virtual objects; and statistical texture synthesis.2. A Framework for Distributed Physical Modeling at Interactive SpeedExtend the framework developed previously for distributed physical modeling to study the effective utilization of non-homogeneous machine clusters and to provide data at interactive-speed to augmented and virtual reality systems.3. Dynamic Environmental Features in Virtual Worlds Develop algorithms for the dynamic generation of vegetation in virtual worlds. This will require the design of new level of detail management algorithms and lightweight communication protocols to maintain functionally.
