VIZLAB has a portable passive-stereo system suitable for demonstrations and
temporary exhibitions. In the images below, 3D movies are presented side-by-side
with an explanatory slideshow. An alternative arrangement has the 3D imagery
filling the entire 2m x 1.5m screen. The screen and surrounding booth travelled
to Phoenix in 2003 to appear in the
SC2003 (Supercomputer 2003)
conference exhibition. A combination of interactive and pre-rendered
visualizations showcasing research performed at the APAC National Facility
was presented.
