Immersive Visualization and Animation Theater
The Immersive Visualization and Animation Theater is now opening in its new location in Russ 154A. It is equipped with ten 49-inch 4K displays and high-end graphics workstations. All systems utilize active stereo-glasses to facilitate full 3D immersion. Various gaming input devices allow for highly intuitive interaction with the software. In addition, a stereo capable 65-inch 4K display is available as well as 12 15-inch laptop computers with high-end graphics capabilities.
All computers available in this teaching laboratory use dual-boot setups that enable them to boot into Windows 10 and Linux Kubuntu 2018.
In Linux, the Vrui environment is available that can utilize the optical tracking systems and Kinect sensors for head tracking within a immersive virtual environment. The 3D TVs are activated automatically. If desired the content can be displayed directly on the local monitor instead when passing the command line option -rootSection Stereo to the Vrui environment. More information about Vrui is available.
Also available are head-mounted displays to support Virtual Reality applications, such as the HTC Vive and HP Mixed Reality. Students can develop software using the Vrui environment or Unity game engine. In additional, augmented reality devices to superimpose additional information on the real world, such as the Kagic Leap are available as well.
