Immersive Visualization / IQ-Station Wiki
This site hosts information on virtual reality systems that are geared toward scientific visualization, and as such often toward VR on Linux-based systems. Thus, pages here cover various software (and sometimes hardware) technologies that enable virtual reality operation on Linux.
The original IQ-station effort was to create low-cost (for the time) VR systems making use of 3DTV displays to produce CAVE/Fishtank-style VR displays. That effort pre-dated the rise of the consumer HMD VR systems, however, the realm of midrange-cost large-fishtank systems is still important, and has transitioned from 3DTV-based systems to short-throw projectors.

Welcome to the IQ-Station Wiki for commodity-based low-cost VR
This site will be the mechanism whereby the community of users of lower-cost virtual reality displays can congregate and share information. Presently these will be systems that are primarily constructed from Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components for a quality VR experience around the $15,000 to $30,000 price range.
Hardware
The basic components of an IQ-station are:
- 3DTV (and glasses)
- Tracking System
- Computer
We also maintain a Detailed Parts List as part of the community shared resource.
Integration Software
Most IQ-station systems presently in operation run VR applications build on one of two VR integration libraries:
VR Applications
- Toirt Samhlaigh
- LidarViewer
- CQ3A
- Immersive ParaView
- VMD
