Objectives: working knowledge of

1. using diversifly to "fly-thru" 3D scenegraphs in virtual environments (VEs)
2. creating a simple VRML/Inventor scenegraph
3. creating a simple presentation in the CAVE
4. sharing scenegraphs in a collaborate VE workspace: D_Collab_Tools
5. Example of a DIVERSE application: D_Atomview

Introduction to VE hardware and software APIs

8:30 - 9:15 AM: Demonstration in Torgersen 3050

       Experiencing immersion a CAVE and desktop CAVE-simulator

• Using different scenegraphs:
  1. Basic Geometry: Simple stick figure (susan.wrl, susan.iv, susan.pfb)
  2. Realistic Geometry: Performer Town (performertown.pfb)
  3. Abstract Geometry: Fourth order stiffness tensor, Cijkl (glyph.wrl, glyph.iv, glyph.pfb)

• Using an interactive DIVERSE application: D_Atomview
