CAVE5D
Contact: Cathy Lascara
Developed by: Glen Wheless, Cathy Lascara, Bill Hibbard, and Brian Paul
CAVE5D
is an ImmersaDesk application package which:
Integrates Vis5D and CAVE libraries Version 2.5.6 to provide
interactive visualizations of time-varying, 3-dimensional data sets in
an virtual environment
Runs on projection-based Virtual Reality (VR) devices such as the CAVE
and ImmersaDesk or on graphics workstations in a CAVE-simulator mode.
Supports the visualization of any Vis5d file
Uses simple ascii configuration files to specify graphical objects at
runtime.
Controls:
The Cave5D User's Guide describes how to run the application and build
configuration files.
Two demonstration data sets and several configuration files are provided
with the Cave5D release. Both of these data sets are also distributed as
part of the Vis5d package.
LAMPS.v5d
This data set was generated by the Limited Area Mesoscale Prediction
System around 1986, and thus represents an early effort at mesoscale
weather prediction. It shows warm and cold fronts moving across the
continental United States, as part of a simulation of an extratropical
cyclone. To visualize this data set use the lamps.cave5d configuration
file. A descriptive walk-thru example of this demo is also available.
SCHL.v5d
This data set which simulates a thunderstorm was provided to Bill
Hibbard by Bob Schlensinger. To visualize this data set use the
tstorm.cave5d configuration file.
Support:
Cave5D is free software and as such we offer no formal support. However, we
will be happy to answer questions and/or help with minor problems.
Please send email correspondence to cave5d@ccpo.odu.edu and either Cathy or
Glen will respond.
A Cave5D mailing list will be developed soon.
