Abstract

In most virtual reality applications, 3-d space is a passive, ambient continuum in which the objects of study are placed. When the 3-d space itself is the object of study, as with mathematical manifolds, VR is especially important as a visualization medium. We describe the visualization of such spaces in the CAVE virtual environment.
