Aural-Visual Virtual Representation System for Numerical Simulation Data

Abstract

One of the most practical objectives to use the virtual reality system in science is to make it easy to intuitively percept complex physical phenomena. We developed a virtual reality system, called CompleXcope, which can represent "real" 3D visual environment. Since attractive physical phenomena are often so complex and tangled, the virtual reality system with 3D-sound functions is really useful for the quick comprehension of phenomena. We have recently added a sound function to the CompleXcope. In this paper we present examples produced by this aural-visual virtual reality system "CompleXcope".
