Research Activities

The Computer Graphics Research Group specializes in three major areas: Visualization and Virtual Reality and Modeling and Rendering.

Visualization of high-speed ATM network traffic data/events. Investigate and implement 2D techniques and 3D techniques. Visualization is carried out using HP / IDACOM 75000 Broadband Series Test System.
The Virtual Reality research has concentrated on developing software tools for the production of virtual reality applications.
The Volume Rendering research has concentrated on 3D filtering techniques for 3D textures.

Brief overview of our Virtual Reality research.

The MR Toolkit
(Virtual Reality & 3D User Interface Development Software)

The Minimal Reality (MR) Toolkit is a subroutine library that supports the development of Virtual Reality (VR) user interfaces and other forms of three dimensional user interfaces. The MR Toolkit is currently licenced by more than 400 sites in 39 countries, with users on every continent except Antarctica.

The toolkit is available at no cost to licenced academic and research institutions. To get version 1.4 of the MR Toolkit, you must sign the licence form and mail it back to the University of Alberta. The person signing it should be a full-time "responsible person" at your organization, with a title such as Professor, Director, Manager, etc.

The MR Toolkit Licence Form is available here. Or, you can email lloyd@cs.ualberta.ca, and he will email you the PostScript licence form. [LETTER IMAGE] FORM to mail lloyd a message
