Introduction to the Workshop
Over the past 30 years, many research organizations established
large-scale immersive visualization laboratories. Some have been
very successful, but others are no longer around. With the recent
availability of COTS virtual reality devices, the need for larger
immersive visualization laboratories comes into question. Some
immersive visualization laboratories have moved away from large
scale facilities due to the cost of maintaining these more elaborate
systems. But can immersive visualization requirements be satisfied
solely using COTS VR devices used by researchers in their own
office?
The goal of this workshop is to gather practitioners from immersive
visualization laboratories to share their success stories,
information about their hardware setups and the software they used
and/or developed. Discussion can also include
"not-so-successful" stories with lessons learned and workshop
participants will also come together to discuss the future of
large-scale immersive visualization labs. We also hope to bring
visualization practitioners together to advance the way our field
works with immersive visualization hardware and software frameworks
for a sustainable immersive visualization laboratory.
The program consists of a balanced mix of keynote talks, paper
presentations, and panel discussions around the current state of
immersive visualization labs, and the path forward. Topics of
interest to the “Immersive Visualization Laboratory” workshop may
include, but are not limited to:
Success stories in research institutions and industry
Not-so-successful stories in research institutions and
industry
Strategies for sustainability
Scientific and visualization workflows for large-scale labs
