Immersive Visualization / IQ-Station Wiki

This site hosts information on virtual reality systems that are geared toward scientific visualization, and as such often toward VR on Linux-based systems. Thus, pages here cover various software (and sometimes hardware) technologies that enable virtual reality operation on Linux.

The original IQ-station effort was to create low-cost (for the time) VR systems making use of 3DTV displays to produce CAVE/Fishtank-style VR displays. That effort pre-dated the rise of the consumer HMD VR systems, however, the realm of midrange-cost large-fishtank systems is still important, and has transitioned from 3DTV-based systems to short-throw projectors.

Recommendations

There is one specific recommendation for virtual machine to handle the tracking task.

Notes:

  • This recommendation is based on systems the IQ-station community has direct experience with.

Recommendation:

  • VMware vmplayer running Windows-XP is a closed-source package with a free (limited-feature) player. Windows-XP is recommended due to an issue where more than 5 NaturalPoint tracking cameras are not properly handled by Windows-7.
