As we open our doors, we face how to
prove that our technologies have practical applications in the industrial
world.To address this issue this presentation discusses a wide range of
immersive visualization usability studies and evaluations performed by Dr. Cruz
in the last 10 years. These studies have helped her to better understand the
capabilities of the technology, its limitations, and identify where it has the
potential to be very useful. Many of these studies have set many of today's
national and international guidelines for the application of immersive
visualization.
This presentation describes several of
the critical studies performed, how they impacted the tech-transfer process and
how they are defining our applied research directions. The presentation
includes case studies from companies that are successfully applying immersive
visualization in their production cycles as well as some of the struggles Dr.
Cruz has experienced taking these advanced technologies into a production
environment.
