Abstract :
A number of researchers have shown that scientific visualization provides enhanced understanding in domains with significant information complexity. Unfortunately, the task of creating engineering visualization, especially immersive visualization, is highly complex and lacks high-level tools that would simplify the development process. This paper describes a framework that is designed to simplify the process of making an immersive visualization of the structural analysis of building structures. The paper describes the components of the framework and describes two applications that were created in order to test their functionality
