3D User Interaction

Purpose:   The purpose of this project is to investigate the ease of use and efficiency of 3D User Interaction Techniques using a two-handed input device with that of a visualization. In particular we are building a test-bed application for visualizing weather data in western North Carolina. Weather in the mountains of western North Carolina is extremely volatile, therefore many interesting properties can be examined using 3D visualization rather than 2D visualization.
