Interactive Visualization Using HMD-type VR System

Abstract

In order to understand various phenomena contained in data obtained by high-performance computer simulations and highly accurate observations, it is important to visualize only necessary information from a large quantity of numerical value. As one approach to data visualization, we are conducting R & D on 3-D visualization using the CAVE-type virtual reality (VR) systems, and development of VFIVE, which is a visualization software for these systems, is also included. In this paper, we introduce Oculus Rift and HTC Vive as HMD-type VR devices with remarkable development in recent years and porting of VFIVE to HMD-type VR devices.
