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.

Little Rock Immersive Visualization Bootcamp


The third immersive visualization bootcamp was held in Little Rock on the University of Arkansas, Little Rock campus on October 22 - 24, 2014. Another great group of participants filled the hall, again with considerable interactions between participants and speakers. Our host facility was the Emerging Analytics Center, who provided help with the arrangements, even while transitioning to new leadership under Carolina Cruz-Neira.

Demonstrating LidarViewer

Immersive visualization makes use of advanced display technologies such as the EAC CAVE at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock to enhance one's ability to see relationships among data representations. The goal of this series of bootcamps is to empower operators and users of immersive (aka virtual reality) visualization facilities with software tools that will enable them to visualize data in a variety of formats using their advanced displays. Much of the software discussed is open-source to enable participants to freely incorporate packages into their workflow suite.

Sponsors of the bootcamp were Indiana University Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL), Idaho National Laboratory Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES), Emerging Analytics Center, and Kitware, Inc.
