Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
Simon Fraser University
$149,866.00
V4-Space: Vancouver Versatile Virtual Reality and Visual Analytics Wall and CAVE
FY 2014-15
Summary
Our group studies novel user interfaces for virtual reality and visual analytics. The goals of the research range from fundamental insights into human perception, cognition, behaviours, actions, and communications over better 3D user interfaces, to improved virtual reality avatars and better interaction methods for problem solving in visual analytics. This proposal seeks funding to build a sophisticated, flexible display system that will provide person-height screens in configurations ranging from a closed hexagon to a straight display wall and provide for interaction and surround sound.Expected research outcomes include new insights into how humans see, think, behave, act, communicate, and interact with technical systems, which will then be directly used in applications ranging from visual analytics, 3D design, architecture, telepresence, remote operation, immersive entertainment/gaming, to artistic installations. Research results will be relevant for a wide range of technology and healthcare applications across all sectors - industry, government, academia, etc. Canada will benefit from our work through the training of the involved HQP and overall increased competitiveness in the associated research and industry sectors.
