AVIE - Advanced Visualisation and Interaction Environment

Jeffrey Shaw and Dennis Del Favero
2004

AVIE consists of a 360 degree stereoscopic immersive interactive visualisation environment with motion and shape tracking systems and a multi-channel audio system. It is a set of state-of-the-art resources that enables the development and study of applications in the fields of immersive visualisation, immersive sonification, and human interaction design. It is located in iCinema's Scientia Facility

	Video AVIE

AVIE provides a medium in which three-dimensional audio-visual experiences are created by a combination of multiple projectors and multiple sound sources. People within the visualisation environment will be tracked by a system of infra-red cameras and real time software able to generate models of their movements and body pose. These, the interactive elements of the AVIE, enable:

	Audience participation in the direction of the cinematic experience
	Interplay between real people and projected characters or avatars
	Precise analysis of trainee behaviour

AVIE is driven by a cluster of computers, running a highly versatile real-time 3D VR engine.

The theatre can be used to display various forms of experience, ranging from:

High-resolution panoramic video,
