Rendered density surfaces based on two-dimensional, highly multimodal data from military surveillance images. Note how rendering illustrates fine structure. The three dimensional images may be viewed with standard color anaglyph stereo glasses (red-green or red-blue). If you would like to have a pair, please send email to Ed Wegman and we'll send a pair along. For our in-house images, the red should be over the right eye. For the JPL Mars image below, red should be over left eye. Click on any image to obtain a larger image.

Rendered density contours based on three-dimensional data. This data is based on the mass of supergalactic clusters located in three dimensions: 1) Right Ascension, 2) Declination, and 3) Red-shift (which is a surrogate variable for radial distance). The images indicate the "shape of space."

Rendered images based on a three-dimensional reconstruction of two dimensional MRI slices. The second and third images show internal structure using transparency and density contouring. MRI responds to soft tissue. Notice brain, eyeballs, cartilage tissue in tip of nose as well as ear canal structure. Use of SGI equipment coupled with Crystal Eyes technology allow us to see these images in full color stereoscopic displays in our laboratories.

Virtual Reality offers the promise of freedom for handicapped individuals. Here a class of wheelchair-bound high school students visits our virtual reality lab. They took turns flying through the Grand Canyon and driving through a model village, scenes we have created in the laboratory.

The Mars Rover which explored a region of Mars during the summer of 1997 sent back stereoscopic images of the terrain. These were processed in full color using the same Crystal Eyes technology we use in our VR laboratory. JPL issued a number of stereoscopic images which were available on the web. We have reconstructed these into a panorama view of the Martian surface. Please note the full panorama image is approximately 1 megabyte so may take some time to load.
