The
Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC) has
developed state-of-the-art capabilities for conducting research in the areas
of virtual environments and advanced visualization, also known as Virtual Reality
(VR). Virtual Reality is a concept for computer-human interfaces which uses new
technologies and techniques which are more natural and effective than existing
interfaces. Users can dynamically interact with a three dimensional (3-D) graphical
representations of concepts, designs, and data sets that might otherwise be too
complex to visualize.
