The ImmeraDesk is a cutting-edge virtual reality analysis tool developed under the FY2001 HPCC Project. It facilitates collaborative data analysis, converter development, wall projection creation, and more. Key deliverables include collaborative modes and creating CVEs for co-located line offices. Further enhancements include integrating Java and C++ data conversion tools and leveraging hardware like projectors for VR presentations. Attendees plan to showcase the tool at AGU Fall Meeting and AMS 2002. Future plans involve new collaborative virtual environments for various research groups.

Deliverables/Milestones: • Month 4 - Collaborative mode • Month 6 - Develop data converters • Month 8 - Create wall projection device • Month 12 - Present efforts at meetings • Month 12 - Create CVEs for co-located • line offices
Collaborative mode Dr. Edberg, Visualization Specialist at ARSC visited PMEL in March, 2001. First successful test of collaborative-mode I-Desk connection between PMEL and Supercomputing Center. Work continues to improve environment, connection speed, analysis tools, etc. • Month 4 - Collaborative mode • Month 6 - Develop data converters • Month 8 - Create wall projection device • Month 12 - Present efforts at meetings • Month 12 - Create CVEs for co-located • line offices
Data converter/interpreter gateways • Month 4 - Collaborative mode • Month 6 - Develop data converters • Month 8 - Create wall projection device • Month 12 - Present efforts at meetings • Month 12 - Create CVEs for co-located • line offices Work continues on integrating Java and C++ data conversion tools into the work environment at PMEL. This includes adding I-Desk data output to Ferret, EPIC, and Matlab - the three most popular analysis tools at the lab.
Leveraging hardware • Month 4 - Collaborative mode • Month 6 - Develop data converters • Month 8 - Create wall projection device • Month 12 - Present efforts at meetings • Month 12 - Create CVEs for co-located • line offices The I-Desk projector has been temporarily installed in the conference room for VR presentation testing.
