Abstract

This paper describes a new approach to visualizing the contents of human consciousness that combines the Twin VR technology with relevant psychological methods. The Twin VR technology is based on the use of two dynamically connected virtual environments: the first one serves for the elicitation of required information and the second for its visualization. A prototype VRGrid system is presented as a practical implementation of this approach. The system allows eliciting and visualizing some personal conceptual models in the context of Personal Construct Psychology (PCP). Several aspects of the development of the prototype using emerging technologies such as Java 3D and X3D (Extensible 3D) are discussed.
