Active Projects
How Much Information (Andrew Prudhomme, 2008)
In this project we visualize the data from various collaborating companies which provide us with data stored on harddisks or data transferred over networks. In the first stage, Andrew created an application which can display the directory structures of 70,000 harddisk drives of Microsoft employees, sampled over the course of five years. The visualization uses an interactive hyperbolic 3D graph to visualize the directory trees and to compare different users' trees, and it uses various novel data display methods like wheel graphs to display file sizes, etc. More information about this project can be found at [1]. |
Blood Flow (Yuri Bazilevs, 2009)
In this project, we are working on visualizing the blood flow in an artery, as simulated by Professor Bazilev at UCSD. We use COVISE's Tecplot reader to load the data into the StarCAVE. |
Animated Point Clouds (Daniel Tenedorio, Rachel Chu, Sasha Koruga, 2008)
PhotosynthVR (Sasha Koruga, 2009)
SUN Blackbox (Mabel Zhang, Andrew Prudhomme, 2008)
Hotspot Mitigation (Jordan Rhee, 2008)
ATLAS in Parallel (Ruth West, Daniel Tenedorio, Todd Margolis, 2008)
Protein Visualization (Philip Weber, Andrew Prudhomme, Krishna Subramanian, Sendhil Panchadsaram, 2005)
A VR application to view protein structures from UCSD Professor Philip Bourne's Protein Data Bank (PDB). The popular molecular biology toolkit PyMol is used to create the 3D models of the PDB files. Our application also supports protein alignment, an aminoacid sequence viewer, integration of TOPSAN annotations, as well as a variety of visualization modes. Among the users of this application are: UC Riverside (Peter Atkinson), UCSD Pharmacy (Zoran Radic), Scripps Research Institute (James Fee/Jon Huntoon). |
Virtual Architectural Walkthroughs (Edward Kezeli, 2008)
Palazzo Vecchio (Philip Weber, 2008)
CAMERA Meta-Data Visualization (Sara Richardson, Andrew Prudhomme, 2007)
Virtual Calit2 Building (Daniel Rohrlick, Mabel Zhang, 2006)

Khirbat en-Nahas (Kyle Knabb, Jurgen Schulze, 2008)
For the past ten years, a joint University of California, San Diego and Department of Antiquities of Jordan research team led by Professor Tom Levy and Dr. Mohammad Najjar has been investigating the role of mining and metallurgy on social evolution from the Neolithic period (ca. 7500 BC) to medieval Islamic times (ca. 12th century AD). Kyle Knabb has been working with the IVL as a master's student under Professor Thomas Levy from the archaeology department. He created a 3D visualization for the StarCAVE which displays several excavation sites in Jordan, along with artifacts found there, and radio carbon dating sites. In a related project we acquired stereo photography from the excavation site in Jordan. |

Under the guidance of Noah Wardrip-Fruin and Jurgen Schulze, Ava Pierce, David Coughlan, Jeffrey Kuramoto, and Stephen Boyd are adapting the multimedia art installation Screen from the four-wall cave system at Brown University to the StarCAVE. This piece was displayed at SIGGRAPH 2007 and was the first virtual reality application to demoed in the StarCAVE. It was also displayed at the Beall Center at UC Irvine in the fall of 2007. For this purpose, it was ported to a single stereo wall display. |
Children's Hospital (Jurgen Schulze, 2007)
From our collaboration with Dr. Peter Newton from San Diego's Children's Hospital we have a few computer tomography (CT) data sets of childerens' upper bodies, showing irregularities of their spines. |
Super Browser (Vinh Huynh, Andrew Prudhomme, 2006)
Cell Structures (Iman Mostafavi, 2006)
Terashake Volume Visualization (Jurgen Schulze, 2006)
As part of the NSF funded Optiputer project, Jurgen visualized part of the 4.5 terabyte TeraShake earthquake data set on a the 100 megapixel LambdaVision display at Calit2. For this project, he integrated his volume visualization tool VOX into EVL's SAGE. |
Earthquake Visualization (Jurgen Schulze, 2005)
Along with Debi Kilb from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) we visualized 3D earthquake locations on a world-wide scale. |
