Visualization of four-dimensional X-ray absorption fine structure data using a virtual reality system by Haruo Igarashi, Daiki Kido, Yutaka Ishii, Yasuhiro Niwa, Atsushi Okamoto, Masao Kimura

“…Our 4D-XASView facilitates the visualization and analysis of the geometric and topological aspects of the data using VR goggles, enabling detailed exploration of microstructures via rotation and zooming functionalities. This capability allows us to extract XAFS spectral data by selecting specific positions and regions, thereby aiding in the identification of `trigger sites' (magnetite in serpentine), which are characteristic locations within materials that substantially influence the macroscopic propagation of reactions. …”

Exploring interactions between shading and view using visual difference prediction by Stephen Wasilewski, Marilyne Andersen

“…This paper is an exploration of how to approach the characterisation of view clarity through different facades as a function of both the facade and the view itself. While the findings are preliminary, there is already an indication that the type of view content matters to how well people will see through different systems, an important consideration when planning mock-ups and selecting shade fabrics, blinds or electrochromic glazing.…”
