The Geowall Datasets and Curriculum

The following links provide access to data directories, stereo images and other GeoWall applications. They are divided by operating system into three catergories listed below. The list below is a sampling rather than an exhaustive list; many more visualizations exist for use on the geowall and these can easily be found using any of the internet search engines.

Stereo Pairs

Available for: Windows | Linux | MacOS

• GeoWall Alignment Image
• Antique Stereoviews organized by Dr. Susan Clark Slaymaker
• CrystalCanyons Macro 3D Gallery - Exhibits
• Dale Chihuly Glass Artwork at Garfield Conservatory, Chicago (Info on Chihuly)
• Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs): 3D topo maps from various states
• Stereo Images from the Spirit Mars Lander compiled by Marvin Simkin at ASU
• Stereo Images from Mars obtained from the Adler Planetarium in Chicago
• Stereo Pair Imagery from the EROS Data Center

Performer

In general it is sufficient to download the gzipped tarfile which contains the performer files (in a subdirectory) and the RUN_ script. In some directories we have unpacked the tarfile to allow download of individual files.

Available for: Linux

• Global Earthquakes
• Chemical mixing in the present day Earth (van Keken).
• Seismic tomography of the mantle (Spakman)
• 3D surficial geology of Arizona (Reynolds and others)
• Chemistry (Ball and Stick) examples
• Retreat of ice caps (Peltier)
• Virtual Harlem (with sound)
• Mt Peulik, AK, Volcano Deformation

Shockwave

Windows

• Stereoscopic Shockwave 3D protoypes provided by Jeff Sale at SDSU

Fledermaus

These scenes can be viewed using the iview3D viewer from IVS

Available for: Windows | Linux | MacOS

• Lidar survey of the Angelo Coast Range reserve (from Bill Dietrich's group at Berkeley) (250 Mbyte)
• 3D geological maps of the Camp Davis, Wyoming area (field camp of the University of Michigan) (120 Mbyte)

Movies

These movies can be viewed with Quicktime in full screen mode. They can be run by installing Quicktime, opening a movie, selecting full screen for the movie size and clicking OK. Credit goes to Jameson Chen and the School of Journalism, University of Minnesota.

Available for: Windows | MacOS

• September 11 Memorial Event at the University of Minnesota (9.11.02) - 1 Gbyte
• A Walkthrough of Micky's Diner in St. Paul - 333 Mbyte

Molecular dynamics simulation of periclase (MgO) crystallization and future movies developed at Penn State. The stereo movies are 1280x480 resolution AVI files. Higher image quality and playback performance is possible by downloading the left & right 640x480 MPEG movie pairs and viewing them with the free StereoMovie Maker application available from http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stvmkr/.

• Periclase (MgO) Crystallization Movies

Visualization Packages

Available for: Windows | Linux | MacOS

• The AstroWall Software (Windows Only )
• University of Minnesota visualizations used in their intro classes
• Arizona State University geophysics visualizations
• Interactive 3D Modeling Examples from the Education Center on Computational Science and Engineering at San Diego State University
