INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR INTUITIVE UNDERSTANDING OF 4D DATA

摘要

We present a new virtual reality system to assist intuitive understanding of four dimensional data. Two mapping methods, which are the projection from 4D space to 3D space and the 3D section of 4D data, are employed to display 3D images generated from 4D data. A user can interactively observe the 4D object from an arbitrary direction by corresponding his 3D position to the point which lies on the surface of the 4D sphere surrounding the object.
