Paper – Applications and a Three-dimensional Desktop Environment for an Immersive Virtual Reality System

Today I read a published paper “Applications and a Three-dimensional Desktop Environment for an Immersive Virtual Reality System”

The abstract is:

We developed an application launcher called Multiverse for scientific visualizations in a CAVE-type virtual reality (VR) system. Multiverse can be regarded as a type of three-dimensional (3D) desktop environment. In Multiverse, a user in a CAVE room can browse multiple visualization applications with 3D icons and explore movies that float in the air. Touching one of the movies causes “teleportation” into the application’s VR space. After analyzing the simulation data using the application, the user can jump back into Multiverse’s VR desktop environment in the CAVE.
