This book presents a terrain visualization application developed on a responsive workbench system. The application enables stereo viewing of a terrain as if a physical mock up model of it is actually on a real table. Head tracking system allows the user to move around the terrain model. The terrain visualization system has multi-texturing and level of detail capabilities. It also has tools that extracts culture feature data and displays it. Application also has a tool that performs visibility analysis on terrain. A remote controller is used to control system to give user more flexibility. Effect of various stereo visualization parameters like eye separation is analyzed as part of evaluation in system usability. Main goal is to represent a conceptual stereo briefing map that is usable for military or GIS purposes.
