We have developed a software framework for scientific visualization in immersive-type, room-sized virtual reality (VR) systems, or Cave automatic virtual environment (CAVEs). This program, called Multiverse, allows users to select and invoke visualization programs without leaving CAVE’s VR space. Multiverse is a kind of immersive “desktop environment” for users, with a three-dimensional graphical user interface. For application developers, Multiverse is a software framework with useful class libraries and practical visualization programs as samples.

“…These include Visualizer [21], ML2VR (MATLAB) [20], Amira, ParaView, VisIt, AVS/Express, and others. We too have developed a general-purpose visualization program, VFIVE, for CAVEs [22,23,24], the main application of which is also CFD. However, there is no definitive application program for scientific visualization in CAVEs.…”

“…Previously, we had developed a general-purpose visualization program for CAVE-type VR systems [9][10][11]. This program, VFIVE, provides various visualization methods for scalar/vector fields, such as isocontouring, colored slicing, volume rendering, vector glyphs, stream lines, and particle tracers.…”

Recent advances in head mounted display (HMD) systems, specifically those demonstrated by the Oculus Rift, provide a new platform for three-dimensional scientific visualization. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have constructed a cost-effective video see-through visualization system by combining a stereoscopic camera system and an Oculus Rift device. The see-through HMD system enables a researcher to analyze numerical data in a virtual reality space, with keeping visual communication with nearby collaborators in real space. We have ported our visualization software for CAVE systems, VFIVE, to the HMD system. The ported software enables its user to analyze three-dimensional scalar/vector fields in a virtual reality space while simultaneously being able to view the natural surroundings.
