Acquisition of a Scientific Visualization Facility

该项目创建了一个科学可视化设施，支持流体动力学、岩土工程、医疗系统中的人为因素、图像重建和断层扫描、计算几何、机器人、化学机械平面化、计算解剖学和可视化等方面的研究。该设施以可视化墙、动作捕捉设备、3D渲染设备和SGI棱镜为主要组件提供计算能力，为可视化和动作捕捉提供本地访问。子项目领域涉及流体动力学、化学机械平面化（科学和工程）；计算解剖学、医学可视化、断层扫描、医学成像（医学信息学）；可视化和图形，沉浸式环境，计算几何（计算机科学）等。该基础设施将通过AccessGrid节点进一步发展，使研究人员能够与其他机构的同事进行虚拟协作，将可视化与远程会议相结合。

This project, creating a scientific visualization facility, supports research in fluid dynamics, geotechnical engineering, human factors in medical systems, image reconstruction and tomography, computational geometry, robotics, chemical mechanical planarization, computational anatomy, and visualization. The facility, with a visualization wall, motion capture equipment, 3D rendering device, and an SGI prism to provide computing power as main components, provides local access for visualization and motion capture. Subproject areas address fluid dynamics, chemical mechanical planarization (science and engineering); computational anatomy, medical visualization, tomography, medical imaging (medical informatics); visualization and graphics, immersive environments, computational geometry (computer science), etc. The infrastructure will be further advanced with an AccessGrid node, enabling researchers to conduct virtual collaborations with colleagues at other institutions that combine visualization with teleconferencing.
