PROPOSAL FOR A 1994 NPAC REU PROJECT
Abstract:
This paper addresses the development of a real time rendering program to
provide a ``flight simulator'' type of interface to information about
New York State, as part of the Living Textbook project. The project is
discussed and broken into smaller problems. Finally, a project is proposed
to explore the capabilities of various Silicon Graphics machines, both
alone and networked with high performance parallel computers, in regards to
rendering terrain data.
