Interactive briefing map on responsive workbench

Abstract

This thesis presents a terrain visualization application developed on a responsive workbench system. The application enables stereo viewing of a terrain as if a physical mock up model of it is actually on a real table. Head tracking system allows the user to move around the terrain model. The terrain visualization system developed has multi-texturing and level of detail capabilities. It also has tools that extracts culture feature data and displays it. Application also has a tool that performs visibility analysis on terrain. A remote controller is used to control system to give user more flexibility. Effect of various stereo visualization parameters like eye separation is analyzed as part of evaluation in system usability.
