National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT Computational Research Branch Seminar SPEAKER: Jeff Kulick MIT Media Lab TOPIC: Holographic Display of 3-D Volumetric Data ABSTRACT: Over the years, computer graphic techniques have been developed for displaying solid models of 3-D information such as automobiles, etc. A much harder class of problem, that of displaying true 3-D volumetric data such as that produced by a metabolic image of the brain, or simulation of fluid flow has seen much less success. This seminar will present some early results on a volumetric imaging technique utilizing holographic stereograms for displaying 3-D data. Iamges that are extremely difficult to understand from their 2-D projections become very understandable when viewed though the aid of stereoscpoy and motion parallax that holographic stereograms offer. Holographic stereograms of several types of data will be display as part of this talk. DATE: Mon. 3 Aug. TIME: 2:30 PM BLDG: 233 ROOM: 172 POINT OF CONTACT: B.
