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.

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 [[PartsList | 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:

* [http://freevr.org FreeVR]
== VR Applications ==

* LidarViewer
* CQ3A
