We introduce a novel tool for visualizing netflow traffic on enterprise networks called 3D Parallel Coordinate Planes (3DPCP). This tool provides operators with the ability to manipulate the visual flow of network traffic information by arranging two-dimensional planes along a vertical time axis in 3D space.

We studied the effects of visual scenery modulation related to path inclination on gait performance. So far, seven young healthy adults were tested with an advanced virtual reality (VR) system. While walking on treadmill in a self-paced mode in straight, uphill and downhill inclinations, the subjects were exposed to visual scenery providing visual flow presenting either conflicting or matching visual inclination to the treadmill inclination. When visual scenery changed to uphill or downhill scenery, gait was immediately affected, even when no corresponding treadmill inclination. Further research is required to understand if this effect can be employed to facilitate rehabilitation programs.

This paper provide a physically-Based framework for simulating the ground effect phenomena concerning helicopter hover between objects and the surrounding air. A simplified visual flow model including copters position and aircraft shape was introduced between the helicopter rotors and the ground. By using particle system to simulate the ground effect model, in comprehensive consideration of the authenticity of the visual simulation and the simulation performance, and other factors, we have successfully improved reality and enhanced immersion of the aircraft virtual simulation.

To reveal the underlying cellular mechanisms of the noise tolerance in the discrimination of the direction of visual flow, we analyzed both response behaviors of directionally selective cells in the d-MST of the macaque and discrimination properties of human subjects for visual flow by using large-field texture flow. The stimulus was a 32/spl times/32-pixel random checker pattern refreshed at every 16 msec in which coherency of the motion of the texture was systematically controlled by a special purpose computer. The discrimination performance of the human observers showed a high degree of tolerance for directional noise. Field-type D-cells in d-MST also showed response properties which closely resembled human discrimination performance. These results strongly suggest that cells in d-MST area play a crucial role in the generation of signals for perception of global motion.
