41. Biosport Lab -- Bobsled Simulator
    Built by the Sports Biomechanics Lab at University of California, Davis.  
    http://mae.engr.ucdavis.edu/~biosport/bobsleds/bobsled.html
    
    Extractions: Version 1 Bobsled Simulator That thing in the picture is a bobsled simulator. It's kind of like a flight simulator, but simulates driving a bobsled instead of flying a plane. An IBM workstation runs code which calculates the dynamics of the sled in real time. We feed the program track data (Lillehammer, Salt Lake City, Albertville, Calgary) and driver steering input, and it solves the equations of motion and draws a picture on the screen from the driver's point of view. Data is also sent from the workstation to a motion control system which plays a CD of the sounds of a bobsled going down a real run, rolls the cockpit, and provides force feedback to the driver through the steering handles. The idea behind this project is to help train the United States Olympic Bobsled Team. With the simulator the drivers can take as many practice runs in a day as they like (as opposed to 4 or 5 runs maximum when training on ice), work on only one section of a track at a time, practice many different tracks without having to travel, compare their "lines" to other drivers, and get quantitative feedback on how they are doing after each run. There are three versions of the bobsled simulator currently in operation: one in Lake Placid, NY at the

    An open and interactive VR solution for MATLAB and Simulink.  
    http://www.mathworks.com/products/virtualreality/
    
    Extractions: Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility, U.S. Air Force Learn more The Virtual Reality Toolbox lets you view and interact with dynamic system simulations in a 3-D virtual reality environment. The toolbox links MATLAB and Simulink with virtual reality graphics, enabling MATLAB or Simulink to control the position, rotation, and dimensions of the 3-D images defined in the virtual reality environment. The result is a presentation-quality 3-D animation. Through visualization, the Virtual Reality Toolbox provides insight into the dynamic systems that you model in Simulink. You can use these viewing capabilities in automotive, aerospace, communication, biological, and mechanical applications. Full Product Description

    Extractions: Last updated: May 22, 1996 The NCSA Virtual Reality (VR) laboratory is a research facility engaged in the exploration of new methods of visualizing and interfacing with scientific data and simulations. This exploration is done in conjunction with researchers who want to investigate their science using interactive and immersive technologies. The laboratory is located in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology on the University of Illinois campus. We also collaborate with the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the development of CAVE TM applications and technology (also see NCSA CAVE As part of the visualization effort at NCSA, the goal was to study, develop, and use improved methods of representating, presentating, and interacting with scientific (and other) data-sets. In 1991, the NCSA VR Lab was created to began investigating the use of Virtual Reality (VR, also refered to as Virtual Environments - VE) as a Visualization tool. The CAVE, and other VR facilities at NCSA are now managed by the NCSA Virtual Environments Group (VEG) From the beginning, we were interested in exploring the capabilities of a variety of VR devices. These devices included a VPL Head-mounted Display (HMD), a Fakespace BOOM, and a large projection display capable of stereo, and tracking.

51. Gesturing Toward The Visual / Carolyn Guertin
    Essay on the subject Gesturing Toward the Visual by Carolyn Guertin.  
    http://www.ualberta.ca/~cguertin/gesture.htm
    
    Extractions: Dept. Of English, University of Alberta download .pdf version In 1989, the year that virtual reality was born, MacUser magazine published an article which proclaimed that: the ultimate goal of computer technology is to make the computer disappear, that the technology should be so transparent, so invisible to the user, that for practical purposes the computer does not exist. In its perfect form, the computer and its application stand outside data content so that the user may be completely absorbed in the subject matter (qtd, Ulmer n.p.) The rhetoric surrounding virtual reality, on the other hand, argues not for the disappearance of technology, but for a disappearance of the body in favour of existence as a state of pure information. Katherine Hayles has pointed out that the body is both informational and material object (6) and that it is only "when one duality is chosen over anotherwhen the body is seen only as informationthat its erasure seems possible" (6). This elision of the body nullifies the spiritual component of ourselves and precludes any notions of psychological transcendence that should be possible in physical experiences, particularly experiences like the creative act, art and lovemaking. "[D]isembodied theorizing" (Greco) denies both consciousness and the sensory input that is integral to our navigation of the world: that being the proprioceptive sense, our physical sense of our body boundaries.

    Extractions: March 27-31, Chicago, IL USA The IEEE VR 2004 conference met with great success late in March. Attendance at 280 was up 23%. Workshops were a huge success with paying attendance of 75, almost as many students attending, and the possibility of spinoffs into symposia being raised. The exhibition was larger and more exciting than ever. Feedback on the quality of the program was uniformly positive, especially on Kurt Akeley's keynote . The hotel was both beautiful and accomodating. Even the weather cooperated, with Chicago's first 80-degree day in six months. Our thanks to the conference and program committee members, who volunteered a great deal of their precious time. Our student volunteers were once again extremely helpful; we hope you can come again next year! IEEE CS staff, hotel staff were wonderful. Our exhibitors put on a great show, and we look forward to working with you in 2005! A special thanks to all of our speakers for bringing your great content to the event, especially Kurt Akeley. The Haptics Symposium was once again a valuable part of our event, and we look forward to working with them in the future.

    Extractions: Hi, my name is Kevin Mellott and I like to mess around with VR. I graduated with Honors from High Tech Institute, a trade school in Phoenix, AZ and currently have my Associate degree in Computer/Electronics, FCC GROL Certification, C.E.T. certification, Fiber Optic Certification, and my A+ Certification. I currently work for Agilent Technologies in Santa Rosa, CA. VR is one of my passions. My first Virtual Encounter was enough to hook me on this amazing concept. I have surfed the web countless hours looking for everything from Power glove information to old Vr Systems that never where, like Atari's IVR system. I am going to update my page as much as possible with all the information I have found on any subject regarding Virtual Reality and so forth. If you ever have any questions or comments please feel free to email me. I have much more info then listed here and I am always happy to help. So here goes.

    Extractions: This simulation depicts the impact of an asteroid into the Atlantic Ocean about 25 km south of Brooklyn, New York. This is an example of a near grazing impact: the asteroid approaches the ocean at an angle of only 15 degrees from horizontal. The simulation starts out with the asteroid 50 km south of the impact point, at an altitude of 14 km above the surface of the water. It is 1.4 km in diameter, traveling 20 km/s. (The same impact energy as Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter.) An impact of this magnitude can be expected to occur on Earth about once every 300,000 years and is just at the "global catastrophe threshold". The asteroid is modeled as dunite (compositionally equivalent to Earth's mantle and many meteorites). The land is granite. Water and atmosphere are included. In the images, water is blue, land is green (land excavated by the impact is brown), water vapor is white and hot material (over 5,000 Celsius) is orange. Of course, the exterior of the asteroid is never 'cold' in this simulation, so we always see asteroid material as orange. The viewpoint is from orbital altitude at a location about 100 km west of New York City, looking east. Long Island trails off into the distance. Manhattan and Staten Islands are in the foreground and Long Island Sound and the Connecticut shoreline are to the left.
