VRoom is a Windows-based, three-dimensional desktop
environment that offers a "workroom" for
users to efficiently filter and absorb large quantities
of information from a variety of sources. VRoom was
created for a command center environment to provide
a flexible 3-D virtual room in which the user can
run multiple applications and interact with them by
placing them on the "walls" of the room.
VRoom's architecture supports addition of new data
sources to its environment, seamless integration of
custom 3-D visualization components, and the configuration
of an intelligent software agent to filter information,
provide alerts or be tasked with accomplishing domain-specific
jobs. Its most comprehensive visual system, the Sand
Table, translates two-dimensional maps into a three-dimensional
viewing tool.
The VRoom framework allows for real-time interaction
with local and remote multi-platform applications,
providing remote users with a sense of context essential
to collaborative environments and distributed command
centers.
