Visit the Shockoe Room Between 11:00 & 1:00
to experience this exciting new tool!
The VizEveryWhere Viz3D is an immersive stereo visualization system. This portable 3D visualization system could be used in small conference rooms to large classrooms and is designed to make visualization a simple and intuitive tool. Examples of immersive visualization will be shown from a wide variety of disciplines including chemistry, the arts, medicine, and engineering. In addition there will be demos of the Virtual Parasite Project, a research project of VCU's Center for the Study of Biological Complexity with the initial goal of creating an extensible, portable, in silico, multi-scale, high performance computational model of the T. cruzi parasite life cycle. The data generated by the simulation is passed to a visualizing program that allows the user to interact with a snapshot of the motion of the T. cruzi parasite in three dimensions. Demos of the Viz3D system, as well as the Virtual Parasite Project, will occur between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm in the Shockoe Room of the student commons as part of Emerging Technologies Day on April 8. Specialists in using this program will demonstrate the Virtual Parasite Project at 11:00, 11:30, 12:00 and 12:30. Demos of other programs using this new tool at VCU will occur at other times. Most demos last 5-10 minutes. |
