Architectural Walk-Through Coupled with a Parallel Lighting Simulation
This architectural walk-through accurately
depicts room lighting conditions using a parallel radiosity simulation
that runs on a supercomputer. Every time a user changes the lighting
conditions (lights switch on or off, colors change) the simulation computes
the new room shading and sends the resulting model over a high-speed network
for display on the ImmersaDesk at SC'98. Within seconds, the
new lighting of the room can be evaluated.
