Collaborative Research: ITR: The Geowall - Stereo Visualization for the Earth Sciences

计算机辅助赤平投影技术的发展极大地帮助解释了地球科学的结构和过程。我们已经开发和实施了一个负担得起的基于PC/Linux的立体投影系统(“Geowall”)，可供各个研究小组使用，也可在本科生课程中使用。这个由密歇根大学(EAR-0219246；PI：P.van Keken)和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校合作的信息技术研究项目的主要目标是极大地改善地球科学应用的内容开发和交付。这将包括为现有的地球科学应用程序开发转换软件和查看器；实施3D数据交互和操作工具；在地球科学部门测试这些工具；改善研究人员小组之间的合作环境；通过Geowall联盟(geowall.org)传播。***

0218918JohnsonDevelopment of computer-aided stereographic projection techniques has greatly aided interpretation of Earth Science structure and processes. We have developed and implemented an affordable PC/Linux based stereo projection system ("the Geowall") that can be used by individual research groups and within the undergraduate curriculum. The main goals of this collaborative Information Technology Research project between the University of Michigan (EAR-0219246; PI: P. van Keken) and the University of Illinois at Chicago are to greatly improve the content development and delivery for Earth Science applications. This will include the development of conversion software and viewers for existing Earth Science applications; implementation of tools for interaction and manipulation of 3D data; testing of these tools in Earth Science departments; improvement of the collaborative environment for work between groups of researchers; and dissemination through the Geowall consortium (geowall.org). ***
