Abstract
One of the most practical benefits of utilizing a virtual reality system in science is to make it possible to percept a really tangled complex phenomenon in an intuitive way. We have developed a virtual reality system called ‘CompleXcope’ as an important part of the man-machine interactive system for simulation (‘MISSION’). This CompleXcope is designed so that not only three-dimensional objects but also an auditory environment can be represented. In the past, the principal tool to analyze the data obtained by computer simulation was a 2D (plane) visualization tool. As the simulation study progresses in accordance with the progress of supercomputer technologies, it becomes possible to simulate a tangled nonlinear phenomenon. The traditional 2D-visualization tool becomes a slow coach to grasp what is happening in the simulation of a complex phenomenon. The electronic environments surrounding computers have realized a commercial-based 3D (solid) virtual reality system such as “CAVE”. This environmental condition has driven us to develop an integrated man-machine interactive system for promoting new frontiers of Simulation Science into which virtual reality system is integrated. CompleXcope is a projection-based VR system based on CAVE system 1) that is developed at Electronic Visualization Laboratory, University of Illinois at Chicago.
