Oceanographic research at PMEL using PC and UNIX based 3-D stereo visualization
Christopher W. Moore, JISAO/Univ. of Washington, Seattle, WA; and N. Soreide
Research work at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Labs will be
presented showcasing the latest desktop analysis and visualization
tools in use today.
Techniques will be shown for piping interactive, stereo 3-D graphics
from a UNIX-based visualization server to a desktop PC, utilizing the
latest PC hardware acceleration. This new, inexpensive method for
utilizing local video card graphics over a local area network has
revolutionized high-end stereo visualization of oceanographic and
atmospheric data.
This poster-session demo will not only show the latest PMEL research in Fisheries Oceanography using a massively parallel supercomputer, and in-situ data from NOAA's tropical Pacific TAO-Triton array in full stereo 3-D, but tips and tricks will be shown for using inexpensize hardware and free software at the desktop as another tool for analysis, for creating web-based animations, or for creating high-end stereo animations at presentations.
