Abstract

The Virtual Explorer project at the University of California, San Diego, is creating immersive, highly- interactive virtual environments for scientific visualization and education. We are creating an integrated model system to demonstrate the potential applications of VR in the educational arena, and are also developing a modulator software framework for the further development of the Virtual Explorer model for other fields.
