Abstract
The use of virtual environment (virtual reality) techniques for scientific visualization are surveyed. Lessons learned from various existing applications are stated, with regard to implementation areas such as computation, graphics, data management, and user interface. The fruitful interplay of virtual reality and scientific visualization is stressed. 1. Why Scientific Visualization is a Good Application of Virtual Reality Scientific visualization [McCormick et. al. 1987] is the use of computer graphics to create visual images which aid in the understanding of complex, often massive numerical representations of scientific concepts or results. Such numerical representations, or data sets, may be the output of numerical simulations as in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or molecular modelling, recorded data as in geological or astronomical applications, or constructed shapes as in using computers to visualize topological arguments. These simulations are often contain high-dimensional...
