Visualization Lab Computer Hardware

The computers in the Visualization Lab (Vislab) have been chosen because of a moderate cost and high performance to cost ratio. Each computer currently has a stereo-capable graphics and monitor, allowing personal 3D viewing. Additionally, the output from any computer can be routed to a large stereo wall for large immersive visual analysis as well as group visualization.
