Principle
- By using stereoscopic projection on a mirror the user experiences the virtual environment to be behind the mirror.
- The user reaches with his hands behind the mirror to manipulate the virtual environment, using physical objects linked to virtual objects.
- Cameras are used for wireless tracking of objects.
Molecular applications
- Inspection and manipulation of large molecular structures.
- Existing package "VMD, Visual Molecular Dynamics" ported to the PSS and extended with direct 3D interaction.
- Interaction: movement of molecule in hand, selection of atoms, measuring of distances and angles within molecule.
Medical applications
- Inspection of medical data (e.g. from simulations and from CT-scans).
- Different visualizations for the best understanding of data.
- Interation by movement of data in hand and by selection of data using a selection tool.
