IU and Purdue in virtual collaboration

June 1, 2009
Staff from IU's Advanced Visualization Laboratory have worked with Professor Sorin Matei of Purdue University to develop an extension of the Visible Past project.
The new prototype builds upon an existing digital model of an Omaha Beach battlefield developed by Dr. Matei, as well as the open X3D data standard and the free instantreality renderer.
The goal of the effort was to transform the 3D model into a gateway to a spatially oriented gWiki platform developed by Dr. Matei.
