Images of ScienceSpace's Worlds These images are stills taken from the project's server. The physical interface to the virtual worlds is typical of current high-end virtual reality. The hardware we are using is a Silicon Graphics Onyx RE/2 reality engine, coupled with a Virtual Reality, Inc. EYE-GEN4 head-mounted binocular display; a Polhemus FASTRAK magnetic orientation and position sensing system with a 3-Ball sensing unit (similar to a 3-D mouse); stereo sound; and a custom vest that delivers haptic sensations. This physical interface enables us to immerse the student in 3-D virtual world using the visual, auditory and tactile senses. The still images are all in jpg format.
