The ISL houses the world’s only 3-meter rigid walled
immersive visualization CUBE and four large single-screen immersive
visualization systems.
Advanced visualization and sonification hardware and software are utilized
to create stereo video and spatialized sonification environments for
researchers throughout the campus. These immersive systems are
integrated with items such as augmented reality goggles, video cameras and
eye/head and full-body motion tracking systems to gather subject data. Two
SGI Onyx2 computers, a three-pipe, 12 processor SGI Onyx graphics
supercomputer and a PC cluster are available to drive the visualization
environments as well as a number of desktop workstations for program
development. The CUBE is manufactured by TAN Projektionstechnologie of
Dusseldorf, Germany.
Eye tracking sytems are manufactured by Applied Science Laboratories (www.a-s-l.com).
The ImmersaDesks were manufactured by Pyramid Systems, now a part of
FakeSpace (www.fakespace.com).
Motion Capture is done with a system manufactured by Motion Analysis
Corporation (www.motionanalysis.com).
Magnetic tracking systems are from Ascension Technologies (www.ascension-tech.com).
