• "“1411 –Visualization Lab.”

  For the uninitiated, the neat workstations lining the walls of the room in Duke University’s Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences could easily be mistaken for elements of a basic computer lab. However, users of room 1411 – also known as the Visualization Lab – are creating visuals more sophisticated than most of us can imagine." ( more)

• "...As the person steps forward or stoops to peer at how particular features link up, the display -- a cluster of points of light that seems to float within a special room known as a CAVE -- spookily adjusts its own position to maintain a proper perspective. "Think of a holodeck on the Starship Enterprise," Rachael Brady told her audience of Duke biomedical engineers as she narrated a videotape made at the University of Illinois (UI) at Urbana-Champagne. "That's what a CAVE system does."..." (more)
