EE380---Computer Systems Colloquium Title: Virtual Environment Display Systems Speaker: Scott Fisher From: NASA/Ames Research Center Time: 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20 Place: Skilling Auditorium Abstract The presentation will describe recent research trends toward development of virtual interactive simulation environments for aerospace and commercial applications. The primary focus will be the Virtual Environment Workstation (VIEW) developed at NASA Ames Research Center. This system provides a multisensory, interactive display environment in which a user can virtually explore a 360-degree synthesized or remotely sensed environment and can viscerally interact with its components through use of head-mounted, stereoscopic displays, tactile input gloves and 3D sound technology. Applications for Telepresence, Telerobotics and Spatial Data Management will also be discussed. Scott S. Fisher is a Research Scientist in the Aerospace Human Factors Research Division at NASA/Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. -------
