UCLA's Academic Technology Services has developed, engineered,
and built one of the truly unique facilities in the nation: the
Visualization Portal. The Portal is a 3D multimedia presentation
theater in which anything from virtual reality reconstructions
of ancient buildings to 3D renderings of molecular structures
can be displayed, explored, and manipulated before an assemblage
of up to forty-three participants. The Visualization Portal was
completed in March and the adjacent development lab is expected
to open this fall. Because it is new, the Portal is not widely
known by the broad campus community. This month's SIANME forum
will offer a good opportunity to get famililiar with its
capabilities, view some of the applications faculty have
developed for it, and discuss some of the ways it can be used by
others.
