Putting You In The Picture: Enhancing Visualization With A Virtual Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe recent work aimed at the integration of a visualization package and a virtual reality system, with the emphasis on the re-use and enhancement of commercially available products. The objective of the work is to determine what advantages (if any) are to be gained by combining the visualization package (which is well-suited for the conversion of numerical data into appropriate geometrical representations) with the comparatively novel immersive navigation methods of virtual reality. Our system—called VIVRE—was designed and built to meet the requirements of users who were to apply it to real industrial problems. They found that the use of the new navigation methods were advantageous for large datasets, and that direct interaction with elements of the visualization (for example, cutting planes) gave new insight into their data.

Canopy: A Controlled Emulation Environment for Network System Experimentation
Network systems are hard to debug because they are inherently parallel and non-deterministic. Canopy assists with network debugging by putting the entire network system into a controlled emulation environment constructed from virtual machines and a simulated network. This puts all variables under the user’s control and provides a coherent, omniscient viewpoint of the entire system. To aid the u...
