CISE Research Instrumentation: Augmented Reality and Interactive Distributed Physical Modeling

EIA-9986051 Jannick P. Rolland中央佛罗里达大学CISE研究仪器：增强现实和交互式分布式物理建模中央佛罗里达大学的光学和计算机科学学院将购买Silicon Graphics计算机，用于支持计算机和信息科学与工程的研究。 该设备将用于多个项目，特别是：1.增强现实构建增强现实可视化的框架。 该框架包括3D显示器的开发，包括头戴式设备; 3D渲染深度的准确性和精度的定量评估方法;基于物理的虚拟对象运动模型;真实的和虚拟对象的配准方法;以及统计纹理合成。以交互速度进行分布式物理建模的框架扩展以前为分布式物理建模开发的框架，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。3.虚拟世界中的动态环境特征开发虚拟世界中植被动态生成的算法。 这将需要设计新的细节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.
