Abstract :
This paper demonstrates a software and hardware implementation for creating and visualising a three dimensional voxel based model for any arbitrary polynomial function. Preliminary results demonstrate its use from the model creation, within a cluster computing engine, to a large real-time visualisation system via a small PC rendering farm, have been carried out. This includes the choice of data representation and transmission across a university campus. A fully automated and on-demand model modification process is required in the next phase of implementation, as well as improvements in each of the stages of computation, translation, visualisation and human interaction
