			On the North Pole Looking East A frame from the stereo animation A Volume of 2- Dimensional Julia Sets This animation (like most computer animations) took up to 30 minutes per frame to render, 54,000 times slower than real time. In the early 1980s (with the exception of space roaches in video games), computer graphics stopped moving in real time. Frame buffers gave us photographic realism, but computers could not move enough bits fast enough to animate in real time. Algorithm Development John Hart Mathematics Louis Kauffman Computer Graphics Daniel Sandin Sound Laurie Spiegel Fused Vision Tom Defanti Poverty Island with Video Skies These images are from a Virtual Reality Installation in the CAVE. In this work, participants interact with a time-lapse, 360-degree, 3D panorama based on video images captured on Poverty Island, an island in the archipelago from Death's Door to the Garden Peninsula in Lake Michigan. In the late 1980s and through the 1990s, real-time computer graphics and interactivity were back (largely thanks to Silicon Graphics). I now have real-time computation, real-time computer graphics, and real-time interaction combined with a stunning display that surrounds the participant and matches well the two-eyed, two-eared moving human. The CAVE was developed by the students and faculty (scientists and artists) of the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, the School of Art and Design, and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Illinois at Chicago.
