BIFI Presentation Institute for Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems Research Institute of University of Zaragoza (Spain) Promotes interdisciplinarity to face the big challenges of innovation and development Research Technology Transfer Biology Complex Networks Computing BIFI Physics Spreading Science Visualization Laboratory act as a link between different areas 3
Motivation Start with two nuclear fusion projects ITER and TJ-II Both required physics computation Recreate the reactor environment to simulate the trajectory of the plasma particles A final need to visualize the results, not just the numbers 4
Visualization Laboratory Hardware: develop our own visualization system Computer: i7, nvidia GTX295 Projection Screen for 3D passive polarization + passive glasses 2 projectors (2048x768) + filters 3D Stereo television + active glasses Positioning 12 infrared cameras Optitrack + markers Kinect Interaction Wiimote and Kinect 5
