Interactive Display Models for Information Visualization in Virtual Reality

Jonathan I. Maletic
University of Memphis

Proposed Grant  $81,567

Abstract:
 The proposed research will investigate using Virtual Reality Environments (VE) 
to visualize data and information. Virtual Reality (VR) combines 3D views with 
animation to allow the user to navigate through the visualization. This application differs greatly from representing real worlds in VR for say training or demonstration. A generic display model for visualizing information in a VR will be developed. This model will extend previous research on 2D and 3D models. Information visualization is vital to the day to day operations of Navy personnel planning, distribution, and assignment.
