Abstract

Web extra: View animations of StudierstubeTwo users collaborating. Starting a streamsurface on the RTorus, as seen from a third user.The main input device is the Personal Interaction Panel (PIP), an augmented prop.This happens when you put your head through an object. Note how the clipping, which occurs in front of our view, can be used to view inside complex structures.Studierstube is an augmented reality system with several advantages over conventional desktop and other virtual reality environments. It includes true stereoscopy, 3D interaction, individual viewpoints and customized views for multiple users, unhindered natural collaboration, and low cost. We demonstrate its application by integrating our virtual environment into a commercial visualization system. Several visualizations of dynamical systems constructed with our toolkit DynSys3D illustrate Studierstube's benefits. An evaluation of the collaboration techniques completes the presentation.
