Chemical Spill Scenario

The Chemical Spill Scenario presents first responders with a leaking tanker truck in a rural setting. Trainees must identify the type of leaking chemical, determine the urgency of the situation, and direct cleanup crews when they arrive.

Hospital Prop Placement

Place medical props in a hospital operation room. Interact with the objects with full 6DOF and arrange them in the OR.

Virtual Hand Interaction

See how to interact with virtual objects for training and simulation applications. This demo involves the CyberGlove Systems Cyberglove and the Polhemus Patriot magnetic tracking system

Virtual Vacation

Become immersed in a virtual vacation. Enjoy a boat cruise, gamble in the casino and stroll along the beach. Navigation is achieved with Spacegrips

The OSHA interactive inspection requires students to identify and tag safety violations in rooms of an industrial facility. After-action reviews allow to playback sessions and to evaluate the individual performance.

The OSHA inspection application requires students to search rooms of an industrial facility for safety violations, such as low overhead pipes, blocked water showers, and tripping hazards.

Conveyor Belt

In this industrial conveyor belt operation training simulation various objects on the conveyor belt must be picked up and sorted correctly into the matching baskets.

Automotive Reachability Study

In this automotive application ergonomic studies are conducted to evaluate interior designs at the concept stage.

The virtual construction elevator lets users move up 7 stories in a world designed to emphasize the perception of height. A quick and safe assessment can be made of whether job applicants are qualified for tasks involving exposure to heights.

HDR Water Reflection/Refraction

A script showing real-time water reflection and refraction in Vizard.
The scene is rendered in HDR and has a bloom post-processing effect. All the effects are created using Vizard's built-in shader and multi-pass rendering capabilities.

Modular Driving Simulator

Test drive a Mini Cooper in an exciting virtual city environment, race against other cars, and jump over a bridge. We recommend a Logitech MOMO steering wheel for navigation.

Beat the drums using Vizard's built-in support for Ascension Flock-of-Birds 6DOF tracking devices.

Vizards supports nearly all commercially available tracking peripherals. Shown here is an Polhemus Patriot used in Vizard to punch at avatars.

Vizard supports 6DOF hybrid head tracking using a Worldviz PPT X8 for wide-area position tracking (>30x30 ft) and an Intersense IC2 for orientation tracking.

Complete Characters now allows users to realistically animate the face using built-in morph-targets. With a simple Vizard script you can make each of the 100 characters move its jaw bone, blink its eyes, and raise its eye brows in a plug-and-play fashion.

Using standard video capture devices (i.e. webcam, DV camera) as input, the WorldViz Vizard software allows overlaying CG onto live video for Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality applications. The WorldViz PPTX4 system was used for tracking.

Vizards supports nearly all commercially available tracking peripherals. Shown here is an Polhemus Patriot used in Vizard to draw in 3D.

Vizard supports the Sensable hardware product line via Sensable's OpenHaptic API interface. With Vizard and OpenHaptics, you can instantly touch your 3D meshes and interact haptically. Shown here is an Vizard/Omni used to tickle a baby avatar

With Vizard's built-in physics engine, it is easy to add complex dynamics to your worlds. Shown here is an included demo in which Vizards automatically handles the collisions and falling trajectories of 25 blocks.

Planetarium

The planet demo script is included with Vizard. It creates a miniature version of our solar system.

By connecting directly with a Spaceball mouse, one can easily navigate Vizard through large spaces (database courtesy of 3dvri.com.

Environment Mapping / MiniCooper

This script is included in the Vizard installer. It displays a model of a Mini Cooper and allows the user to change the paint job on the car.

A demonstration of an infinite terrain plug-in developed for Vizard. The terrain is generated and rendered in real-time.

A simple script that loads a Quake 3 BSP file. The script uses Vizard's built-in collision detection for navigation through the level.

An example script that comes with the standard Vizard installation. It creates a simple game where the user must shoot at the moving ducks.

Vizard comes ready to support any of the Elumens displays. You can use manufacturer's default settings or adjust number of channels or view parameters through a number of custom attributes.

Vizard supports both 3DOF and 6DOF tracking products by Intersense. Shown here is a high-resolution stereoscopic cube map panorama created by Peter Murphy.

Vizard supports real-time position tracking from PPT motion capture systems. Shown here are 7 points on a robot being tracking at 60 Hz.

Vizard supports 6DOF hybrid head tracking using a PPT for wide-area position tracking (>30x30 ft) and an Intersense IC2 for orientation tracking.

Vizard supports the 18 and 22 sensor Cyberglove for high-quality hand and finger tracking. Notice the flexion and abduction motions.
