For automotive manufacturers, large-scale immersive visualization is bringing new efficiencies to vehicle design. Users of the technology, such as Ford Motor Company, have realized the benefits of integrating immersive visualization into various stages of the design process. The company has begun using the second of two state-of-the-art visualization systems in its North American facilities. The first is a large-scale flat wall system in the truck design studio. The second, also with a flat, immersive wall, was installed in summer 2002 in the North American Car (NAC) design studio.
The WorkWall solution, provided by Fakespace Systems, enables collaborative viewing of computer-generated models, projected as full-scale stereoscopic images. These virtual prototypes supplement and reduce the need for more costly and time-consuming physical models and facilitate communication among design teams and management. Compared to physical prototypes, virtual prototypes are far less costly and take almost no time to build. For example, a full-scale physical model of a typical automobile, with fiberglass surfaces, costs approximately $200,000 and takes six to ten weeks to build. Virtual models can be modified throughout the design process to create multiple iterations for review. In contrast to working from blueprints and isometric drawings, virtual prototypes also provide a deeper understanding of design issues.
The simulations also make it easier to convey information to non-technical personnel, which can help to speed management level design reviews. Each of the WorkWall display systems at Ford is configured with three digital, high-bright stereoscopic projectors that provide an expansive image area. To create the large, seamless image from several different projectors, the systems incorporate digital edge-blending technologies. Edge-blending modulates light in the overlap area to create uniform brightness and a smooth, continuous image across the full screen width.
The WorkWall used in the truck design studio, installed in 2001 and upgraded in spring 2002 to a digital projection system with 2000 ANSI lumen brightness, is 8-ft high by 20-ft wide by and provides 12 pixels per linear inch for high-resolution viewing. In the NAC Design Studio, where it is used for automotive styling, the WorkWall measures 8-ft high by 24-ft wide and also provides 12 pixels per linear inch resolution. Also based on high-brightness digital projection technology, its images are illuminated at 5,000 ANSI lumens, enabling viewing in ambient light with no need for a darkened room. This allows NAC design teams of as many as 30 people to view and work with both "real-life" physical models and full-scale virtual prototypes simultaneously. Both the NAC design studio WorkWall and the truck design studio are driven by SGI platforms, with the NAC solution being an Onyx 3000 with three InfiniteReality3 graphics pipes, eight 64-bit processors.

Trimension Systems, a division of SEOS, and SGI have completed installation of an SGI Reality Center facility in the Executive Briefing Center of Landmark Graphics Corporation. The immersive visualization system, powered by a 16-processor SGI Onyx 3400 graphics supercomputer with three InfiniteReality3 subsystems, is the first front-projected installation using Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors on a curved screen with active stereo.
Equipped with Trimension's DLP projection technology and incorporating SEOS's Mercator UX, the Landmark facility displays complex data sets in active stereo, allowing users to enter a virtual world, immersing themselves in their data, including seismic analysis data sets. Mercator UX, the UXGA distortion correction system, provides image-distortion correction to allow LCD and DLP projectors, among others, to be used in curved-screen applications. Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton, will use the 12-foot curved-screen environment to demonstrate its consulting services, which optimize virtual environments for the exploration of data in ways not possible in the physical world.

Footwear companies are using SensAble's FreeForm modeling system for faster and more flexible modeling in the product design process. adidas-Salomon, New Balance, Nike, Reebok, Wolverine Worldwide, Ecco, Evais and others are using the FreeForm system in different areas of the design process including the initial concept phase and outsole development. FreeForm allows designers, sculptors and engineers to use their sense of touch while modeling. By providing a touch-enabled interface to a digital modeling tool, users can create complex midsoles and outsole designs that previously could only be made by hand. These digital forms can then be used in standard downstream processes such as rapid prototyping, grading, tooling design and CNC machining. Compared to the physical tools the FreeForm system replaces such as clay, wax or foam, the advantages are a dramatic reduction in product development time, design quality improvement, and a reduction in design and manufacturing costs.
At Adidas-Salomon, one of the world's largest sporting good manufacturers, the Concept Realization and Engineering group uses the FreeForm system in the initial concept design phase of shoe sole development. Russell Daramour, FreeForm engineer at adidas-Salomon says, "I can produce a complete designer concept shoe--individual components, color renders, screenshots for designer presentation and RP models... all in 5 days, start to finish."
Architectural 3D (A3D), a London, UK-based architectural services company, is relying on PURE 3D rendering solutions from ART VPS as the foundation for its newly launched visualization department. PURE, a PCI add-in 3D rendering card for graphics workstations is aimed at companies looking to offer high image quality in the architectural visualization market. A3D will combine its new visualization capabilities with its existing PAL (Project and Logistics system), a project planning system developed by A3D for the construction industry.
A3D is using PURE to communicate construction intent to off-site parties, such as property executives, investors and other stakeholders in the project. With PURE, the visualization team transforms architectural 2D drawings into virtual photographs of the building and its structure - either as a stand-alone project or as part of the PAL system. Different elements of a building structure can be examined and used for design communication, including brochures, planning and promotion. The visualization department at A3D is already up and running and has completed work on a variety of construction projects underway in London. The department uses 3dsmax and PURE running on Windows workstations.

A US Commerce Department study, compiled from a variety of analyst surveys, cites a need for more music, movies and games on the Internet in order to make broadband connections more popular. Almost all U.S. families live in areas where a high-speed Internet connection is available, but many see no compelling reason to pay extra for it, the government reports.
"New applications and services that consumers want and businesses need will provide the tipping point for broadband demand and usage," according to the report from the department's Office of Technology Policy. Only 10% of U.S. households subscribe to high-speed access, less than in Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong or Canada. About half of American families have some type of Internet access at home. The high relative cost of fast access is also a hurdle. Most people pay about $50 per month for high-speed connections, whereas slower dial-up connections are only $20 a month. In an August 2002 Yankee Group survey, more than 70% of dial-up users cited cost as the main reason they aren't upgrading to faster access.

The resulting software system will integrate the CAD, CAE and physical testing environments together for faster response rates to design changes and improved CAE productivity. According to Dr. Jack Thompson, Director of CAE and Concept Development at the Chrysler Group, "Timely functional performance engineering for attributes like noise, vibration, durability and crash performance is one of the challenges we are tackling in our vehicle development process. We are able to better leverage our proven analytical tools to enhance the virtual design process." In addition, LMS Virtual.Lab should enable the Chrysler Group to speed up the virtual design process, improve the accuracy and quality of virtual prototype simulations and standardize the types of software being used for NVH, durability and impact simulations.
Media producers, digital editors and animators worldwide can now collaborate, edit and render animation and films by harnessing the power of supercomputing technology using IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS). GPFS is a high-performance file system that helps power supercomputers via its massive storage capabilities.
"GPFS allows multiple parties to get at the same content, at the same time," said Jurij Paraszczak, chief technology officer of IBM's Digital Media Group. "In our dealings with broadcasters and other media and entertainment companies, not only do people want to render animations and films at higher speeds, but they also want multiple people to be able to view and edit." GPFS stores one single file copy, making it accessible by the entire system. A highly scalable system, GPFS is designed to manage terabytes of large files efficiently from a huge, shared pool of data storage. GPFS is available on IBM pSeries servers and runs on Linux Clusters and AIX. At customer sites, GPFS currently delivers fast reliable access to up to 500 terabytes of data. (GPFS' architectural limit exceeds 2 petabytes, which is 2,000 terabytes or 2 million gigabytes).
According to the OpenGL Architecture Review Board (ARB) the adoption of the OpenGL 1.4 specification is proceeding rapidly. The specification was ratified in July by the ARB and leading graphics hardware vendors have readied their product plans to include support for the new capabilities. Introduced in 1992 by SGI, OpenGL is a cross-platform 2D and 3D graphics API. New features and functionality in OpenGL 1.4 could impact the creation of games, production of movies, design of automobiles and instruction for flight simulation. For a complete description of the OpenGL 1.4 specification and information about the OpenGL Architecture Review Board, visit the web site.
