Low
Cost Stereo Visualisation for Higher Education:
Over the last few years Phil Lavery has been doing a series of events and
seminars to introduce low cost, easy to use, but very powerful Real time
Interactive 3D Stereoscopic
Visualisation
to
Higher Education
and
Research Institutions.
What is Stereoscopic Visualisation?
It is the way your brain expects to see things, with a left eye view and a right
eye view, and from the minor differences that around 60mm of eye separation
creates in these two views, the brain is able to calculate depth and therefore
able to construct and understand the real world we experience every day. It
is the difference between looking at a flat photograph or illustration of an
object and feeling that you can reach out and touch the object itself. Realtime
Interactive Stereoscopic Visualisation combines modern stereoscopic display
technologies with a powerful computer that can handle huge amounts of data
and allow it to be manipulated interactively in realtime. Until very recently
the prohibitive costs and complexity of large scale, real time, interactive
stereoscopic visualisation limited its use to multi national companies like
BP, Shell, BMW, Mercedes, Nokia or to some very fortunate University Computing
Science or Research labs.... But times have now changed, a standard consumer
computer based system can not only compete, but blow away, those big systems
of only last
year. Complete passive stereo projection based systems are now available for
less than £10,000 and new autostereoscopic systems are coming on the market
offering many more opportunities to benefit
For over six years Phil Lavery has been pioneering the use of realtime stereoscopic
visualisation in education, first at the Glasgow Science Centre and now with
the DLF.
