A Framework for Multidimensional Information Presentation Using Virtual Environments

Abstract

A variety of Virtual Environment (VE) systems exist today and there are as many terms to them. Synthetic environments, virtual reality (VR), and VEs, to name a few, all refer to a simulation of some operational environment. The gamut of VEs runs anywhere from desktop displays to fully immersive and interactive scenes. What these systems share is the need to capture, process, and present data. Presented effectively, the information can enable a user to make timely and informed decisions. This paper will provide some examples of current VE technology and present a framework for VE systems. The paper will also address some of the future directions and challenges facing the evolution of VE technology.
