Immersive ParaView: New Immersive Visualization Capabilities
by William Sherman, Rowan Wiles, Yuxuan Bu, and Simon Su
Virtual reality enhanced data exploration will be demonstrated using the popular ParaView scientific visualization tool. ParaView, a well-established tool in the visualization community, is equipped with many rendering techniques, selection controls, and data format readers. Many experts already rely on ParaView’s desktop interface to accomplish a variety of data analysis tasks. ParaView's interface to virtual reality systems has recently expanded both for consumer-facing VR systems, as well as larger CAVE-style installations (as well as mid-range systems).
The primary focus of this demonstration is on the immersive visualization features of ParaView's latest release. We will demonstrate ParaView for virtual/extended reality, the basic immersive user interface, the shared-user collaborative interface, as well as the more advanced opportunities afforded by the Python connection to the VR capabilities – which includes voice control using current LLM techniques. This demonstration demonstrates how the ParaView scientific visualization tool can be used with CAVE-style VR displays (CAVE Interaction Plugin) along with HMD (XR Interface Plugin) systems.

ARC’s Visionarium Lab provides an array of visualization resources, including the ImmersaDeck, an immersive three-dimensional visualization room, with head and device tracking. The ImmersaDeck is a 14.7-foot by 14.7-foot by 9.2-foot three-dimensional visualization environment, with 47.9 million pixels and 700 ft2 of display surface. It is a world-class immersive visualization facility that has 15,000 lumens per projector (6) and Dual-Eyepoint Projection for two stereo views. The facility is unique in that it has 3 walls, a floor, and a partial ceiling. The Visionarium Lab is available to faculty, graduates, and undergraduates to work with their data and visualization solutions in a cutting-edge hardware and software environment including interactive 3D graphics locally, as well as remote High-Performance Visualization (HPV) with the ARC HPC clusters over the dedicated 10 Gig VT-RNET. From the Web to Headsets and CAVEs, the Visionarium Lab provides expertise and consulting in creating effective analytic, design, and collaborative environments.
