Abstract

A great deal of research being performed in computer science and in undergraduate and graduate programs in the sciences, centers around collaborative scientific projects and the visualization of the results. With so much activity in the scientific community today comprised of collaborative projects which include and require computer scientists, a logical step at this time is to expose students to the hardware, special devices, and software techniques of virtual reality, virtual world modeling, and scientific visualization. This paper describes a virtual world modeling laboratory for undergraduates in Computer Science. Specific hardware, devices, software, and project specifications will be described
