Overview:

VROOM, the Virtual Reality Room, demonstrates the current use and future direction of scientific visualization. Become smaller than an atom or larger than the universe. Stand in the middle of a thunderstorm or travel through the human body. In VROOM’s collaborative virtual worlds, SIGGRAPH 94 attendees experience full 3D immersion in massive scientific and engineering datasets and see how they can be used interactively for practical problem solving.
