Four main types of interactive visualization rooms are featured in DIGISCOPE, representing
the state-of-the-art in visualization technology.
Virtual reality rooms (Fig. 2) provide an immersive experience by projecting information on
multiple walls around the user(s) as well as on the floor and by using multimodal input
(gesture, voice) as well as multimodal output (visual, audio, haptics). Full immersion is
achieved by providing a 3D stereoscopic display consistent with the user’s position. Current
system can support up to two such users.
Large power walls (Fig. 3) use a single, large display surface by combining multiple projectors
with invisible seams between the projected images. As with VR rooms, 3D stereoscopic
display is supported but it is usually not tied to the position of the user so that a larger
number of users can be accommodated than in VR rooms. Since users stand a few feet away
from the display, interaction is achieved through remote control devices, such as laser
pointers to designate objects and hand-held devices to manipulate them.
