[Paraview] Immersive Visualization Bootcamp

[Bill Sherman]

Greetings ParaView community,

Indiana University will be leading a pair of bootcamps on Immersive
Visualization software in conjunction with the Idaho National Lab,
the University of Wyoming, and Kitware Inc.  We're organizing two of
these bootcamps (both basically the same) one in the Eastern U.S.
and one Western.

We are planning for a full two-day event (but spread over three days).
The cost will be $200/person -- basically for food and minor expenses.

Basically these are to be a how-to session for open-source visualization
software in VR (leaning toward CAVE-style) environments.  Some of the
software is Unixii oriented, and a handful will work on Windows.

Planned topics include:
         * General Purpose Vis (Immersive ParaView)
         * Point-cloud data (LidarViewer)
         * Volume Rendering (Toirt Samhlaigh)
         * Molecular viewer (VMD)
         * Model Viewer (OpenSceneGraph)
         * System configuration
         * Low-cost Immersive Systems
         * Human Computer Interface considerations
         * Workflow examples at INL
         * Interaction capabilities
         * Supported Input devices

The first event will be the "Eastern" bootcamp, and will be March 25-27
in Indianapolis, using our CAVE there.  A second, "Western", bootcamp
will be held at the University of Wyoming in the late Spring/early
Summer.  The material presented will follow the same syllabus.

A web page with a registration contact is at:

Registration is limited to enable the hands-on nature of the event.

Please let Bill Sherman (shermanw at indiana.edu) know if you have any
questions.

     Thank you,
     Bill
