Purdue University received a two-year, $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop "Super Reality" immersive visualization interfaces. The award aims to design and refine computational camera models that project 3D datasets onto 2D images in a way that removes line-of-sight restrictions, allowing users to preview occluded regions from their current viewpoint without navigating around obstructions. Known as "Super Reality" interfaces, these new visualization tools seek to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of 3D data exploration through an integrated image constructed from multiple virtual viewpoints. Iterative user studies will validate how well the interfaces meet requirements for image continuity, non-redundancy, adaptive resolution and minimal distortion while simplifying navigation around occluded regions.
