    The Virtual Annotation System
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996) Harmon, C. Reid, Jr. ; Patterson, Walter ; Ribarsky, William ; Bolter, Jay David
    Annotation is a key operation for developing understanding of complex data or extended spaces. We have developed a flexible set of annotation tools that can be placed in a variety of applications. These tools offer a full set of capabilities for inserting, iconizing, playing back, and organizing annotations in a virtual space. They also have an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for employing these capabilities while immersed in the virtual environment. We illustrate the annotation system with two diverse examples: a general data visualization/analysis application and an architectural walkthrough.

    Visualization and Analysis Using Virtual Reality
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 1994) Ribarsky, William ; Bolter, Jay David ; Op den Bosch, Augusto ; Van Teylingen, Ron
    Current virtual reality technologies have not yet crossed the threshold of usability. Display resolutions in many cases render the user legally blind. Head- and hand-tracking devices are inaccurate and of very limited range. Most setups can generate only the crudest of scenes without update lags that ruin the feeling of immersion. Not surprisingly, VR has so far shown more promise than practical applications. Yet the promise looks bright for fields such as data visualization and analysis. For such problems, VR offers a natural interface between human and computer that will simplify complicated manipulations of the data. It also provides an opportunity to rely on the interplay of combined senses rather than on a single or even dominant sense.

    Virtual Environments Research at the Georgia Tech GVU Center
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 1993) Hodges, Larry F. ; Bolter, Jay David ; Mynatt, Elizabeth D. ; Ribarsky, William ; Van Teylingen, Ron
    The Grapics, Visualization, and Usability (GVU) Center was established at Georgia Tech in 1991 in recognition of the central importance of these three disciplines to the future growth of computing. The key emphasis of the GVU Center is effective communication of information between computers and people, as well as use of the computer to facilitate communication between individuals. This is not the domain of a single discipline, but rather draws on many diverse fields. Accordingly, the GVU Center emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to research and education, bringing together 30 faculty and over 100 graduate students from the College of Architecture, School of Civil Engineering, College of Computing, School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Office of Information Technology, School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, School of Mathematics, Multimedia Technology Lab, and School of Psychology.
