This project, enabling and fabricating low-cost, high-performance interconnected spatially immersive visualization facilities, perfects and exploits the technology of immersive environments. The aim is to build and operate systems economically using commodity elements, and to run software that readily supports the development of highly interactive immersive applications. Supporting cross-campus collaboration, the system will utilize commodity computers, commodity projectors, and open source software. In each system, a networked visual computer cluster will drive a surrounding high-resolution polyhedral display surface formed from many identical modular components. Cutting across many disciplines, the facility enables the following research activities:-Perceptual optimization for data visualization, Modeling watershed flooding, -Importance-based visualization, Brain network visualization, -Empirical study of creative cognition, Spatial hypertext,-Robust operation on curved geometry, 4D construction visualization, -Architectural design environments, Physically-based simulation, Gesture-based interfaces, -Fundamental human interaction design, Historic anthropological site reconstruction, -Interactive science education, Self-relevance of social cognition, -Auditory/visual perceptual integrating and comprehension, and -Immersive telecommuting.Broader Impact: The project expects to considerably lower cost by building and operating an immersive system constructed entirely using commodity components. The operating experience and design expertise gained in this project should make construction of immersive visualization systems possible at institutions with more modes means. The design guidelines, and software will be made available through a project website. The immersive systems will be used for the development of informal educational experiences.

这个项目，使和制造低成本，高性能的互联空间沉浸式可视化设施，完善和利用沉浸式环境的技术。其目的是使用商品元素经济地构建和操作系统，并运行易于支持高度交互式沉浸式应用程序开发的软件。支持跨校园协作，该系统将利用商品计算机，商品投影仪和开源软件。在每个系统中，一个联网的视觉计算机集群将驱动周围的高分辨率多面体显示表面，这些显示表面由许多相同的模块化组件形成。该研究所横跨多个学科，能够开展以下研究活动：-数据可视化的感知优化，流域洪水建模，-基于重要性的可视化，脑网络可视化，-创造性认知的实证研究，空间超文本，-弯曲几何的稳健操作，4D建筑可视化，-建筑设计环境，基于物理的模拟，基于手势的界面，-基本的人机交互设计，历史人类学遗址重建，-互动科学教育，社会认知的自我相关性，-听觉/视觉感知整合和理解，以及-沉浸式远程办公。该项目预计通过构建和运营完全使用商品组件构建的沉浸式系统来大大降低成本。在这个项目中获得的操作经验和设计专业知识应该使沉浸式可视化系统的建设可能在机构与更多的模式手段。设计准则和软件将通过项目网站提供。沉浸式系统将用于开发非正式教育体验。
