X3D Graphical User Interface Development Environment ( X3D GUIDE)
|
Despite the rich functionality, X3D does not provide tools for rapid development of GUIs.
X3D authos are responsible for building a purpose-specific set of required interface components, often for a single use.
We address the challenge of creating consistent, efficient, interactive, and visually appealing GUIs by proposing the X3D Graphical User Interface Development Environment (X3D GUIDE) library.
This library is a wide range of cross-compatible X3D widgets with configurable appearance and behavior.
With X3D GUIDE, we attempt to standardize the GUI construction across various X3D-driven projects, and improve the reusability, compatibility, adaptability, readability, and flexibility of many existing applications.

Network Enabled WorkSpaces ( NEWS)
|
Our research interests are motivated by a fundamental question: How can current technologies support remote, real-time interactions that would permit users to participate in volumetric medical, engineering, or scientific projects as a team yet allow each member to retain a unique perspective?
We believe that novel paradigms for collaboration will lead to startling observations and enhanced creativity from the participants as a result of the synergy that develops among a group of people working together even if they are not physically present in the same space.

3D Radiation Therapy Treatment ( 3DRTT)
|
Part of this project is a 3D graphical simulation Web-based tool that can be used as a stand alone application to assist in external treatment planning by visually simulating collisions between various LINAC hardware modules.
The system is based on X3D and Java programming that allows for accurate simulation of several Linear Accelerators hardware modules.
The system helps medical personel to determine the 3D collision space for a patient and is independent of any computing platform.

Virtual Interactive Engineering on the Web ( VIEW)
|
The main objective of this project is to implement virtual laboratories to supplement the course: Introduction to Engineering Materials.
Hands on laboratories are an essential part of engineering and science education wherein students are introduced to data analysis, report writing, finding empirical correlations between experimental variables and data and to validate theories.

Medical students historically have difficulty conceptualizing and projecting the three-dimensional aspects of neural pathways and embryonic organ development from two-dimensional text materials and electronic resources.
This collaboration will support the development of interactive three-dimensional simulations systems to allow students to visualize and conceive neural pathways and embryonic development.
