| 1 |  | Design of vents for the incorporation of wind effects to a virtual environment | Desai, Aditya S | Wind tunnels; Virtual reality | The purpose of this project is to add wind presence to a virtual environment known as the Tread Port Active Wind Tunnel (TPAWT). This was done by utilizing a set of flow conditioning devices to supply air along video projection screens that direct the flow towards a user walking on the tread mill... | 2009-10-22 |
| 2 |  | Full-arm haptic rendering with the sarcos dextrous master | Frey, Matthew S | Virtual reality; Human-computer interaction | This thesis introduces the need for full-arm haptic rendering and reports potential benefits related to the evaluation of static models in confined, or workspace limiting, virtual environments. There are many examples where haptic rendering has been used to add the sense of touch to virtual models;... | 2008-08 |
| 3 |  | Design and construction of an atmospheric display wind tunnel for virtual reality use | Fisher, Charles Jay | Winds; Virtual reality; Wind tunnels | This thesis discusses the design and construction of a unique wind tunnel that was integrated into the University of Utah Treadport Virtual Environment (UUTVE). The Treadport Active Wind Tunnel (TPAWT) increases the realism of environmental wind and dispersion simulations that are able to be cond... | 2009-11-19 |
| 4 |  | Modeling and control for simulated wind in immersive virtual environment | Chakravarthy, Shanthanu | Virtual reality; Wind tunnels | This study is a contribution towards ongoing research to enhance immersion in the University of Utah Treadport Virtual Environment (UUTVE) by adding wind display. A wind tunnel built around this virtual environment called the Treadport Active Wind Tunnel (TPAWT) includes an intricate flow network... | 2009-04-09 |
