[AG-TECH] Re: Question: Any uses of Virtual Reality or 3-D Imaging in the AG?

[Dioselin Gonzalez <dioselin@purdue.edu>]

John,

AGJuggler is a toolkit for collaborative virtual reality that can be 
integrated with the Access Grid.  We have developed several VR 
applications for the Access Grid, and last november we presented  
'Virtual Meeting Space' at SC05, a video consumer service for the venue 
client that integrates video in a 3D space where participants can walk 
around, interact and see each other as avatars with "video heads".

The agjuggler page is  
http://people.envision.purdue.edu/~dioselin/agjuggler/ and I am just 
finishing migrating it to its 'official' site at the AG community 
portal, http://trac.agcentral.org/AGJuggler.

hope this helps,

Dioselin.-
