Project Details
- "This prototype simulation enables operational or exercise planners to test various scenarios prior to initiation of the operation."
- "Participants use a virtual reality boom driven by a Silicon Graphics RE3 engine" and SGI MAX IMPACT workstations. A continuous animation describes evolution of the science of oceanography; virtual reality displays 3D images of the ocean including undulating surfaces, flow tracer balls, and tub-like surfaces representing currents and eddies; the interactive circulation model is controlled via keyboard.
