Virtualization Gate – Full-bodied Immersive Virtual Environment

A team from INRIA and Grenoble Universities in France will demo a new virtual reality system called Virtualization Gate that tracks users’ movements very accurately using multiple cameras, allowing them to interact with virtual objects with new realism.A user wears a head-mounted display (HMD) and moves through a virtual space while several cameras track his movement. The video here shows a guy kicking over virtual vases and pushing a virtual representation of himself around. A cluster of PCs is needed to perform the necessary image capture and 3D modeling.

Virtusphere Virtual Reality Free Roaming Environment

The Virtusphere is (as the name suggests) a large hollow sphere which sits on a set of computer monitored wheels. This allows the sphere to rotate a complete 360º whilst still allowing the computer to track the movments.

Tour the AlloSphere, a stunning new way to see scientific data: JoAnn Kuchera-Morin on TED.com

JoAnn Kuchera-Morin demos the AlloSphere, an entirely new way to see and interpret scientific data, in full color and surround sound inside a massive metal sphere. Dive into the brain, feel electron spin, hear the music of the elements … (Recorded at TED2009, February 2009, in Long Beach, California. Duration: 06:28.)

Allosphere is a three-story, multi- modal-dimensional-sensory, way for a group of collaborators to interact with complex data.  The experience brings to mind the subtle interactions of a string quintet, each in turn leading then following then combining their skills to sum greater than their parts.  Allosphere brings individual visionaries of the arts and entertainment community together in harmony–ultimately creating new expressive possibilities.

By truly immersing a group of well prepared collaborators in their data visually, aurally and temporally, together they are able to grasp data relationships that were simply too complex to understand before…
