3D Visualisation and 3D user Interfaces.

While researching the topic of 3D I stumbled across an industrial concept of 3D visualisation. Meaning, a simulated environment to represent a real life environment for the purpose of research, tutoring, learning and application. The military and aviation transport services even NASA use 3D visualisation to recreate an environment in 3D for the purpose of teaching routine tasks by simulation. I know everyone remembers Microsoft Flight Simulator. Flight Sims wouldn’t really be up to the standard of NASA but you get the idea.

I found a research group that have created a simulation of a science lab for chemical testing. The purpose of this simulation to teach the importance of safety while handling and working with dangerous chemicals. The overall outcome of the project was to obtain a better understanding of the methodologies and formalisms involved in building and engineering interactive visualization systems.
