Project 2 Proposal

Particle-based Airflow Simulation

This project investigates the overall user experience of viewing airflow simulation in a XR setting with VR controllers as input method. It also evaluates the effectiveness of the different visual styles in presenting the 3D data.

Deliverables

• Report of the effectiveness of the visual styles in the simulation

• Tutorial of applying Lattice Boltzmann Methods for simulation

• Tutorial of WebGL shaders

Topics of Interest

• • Applying Lattice Boltzmann Methods for simulation

  • Effectiveness of visual style in data visualization

Data

None (produced by the simulation).

Class Activity

• View simulation with a laptop (baseline)

• View simulation with Quest 3 in VR in style #1, 2, 3... (to be determined)
