Paper 2

In this paper named ‘ Stand Assessment through Lidar-Based Forest Visualization Using Immersive Virtual Environment Technology’. In the study the researchers examined the use of a CAVE to visualise the three dimensional measurements of a forest. In using the Cave system it greatly enhanced the accuracy of data collection of a group of graduate students when they walked through the virtual environment when compared to viewing a normal video. The virtual cave tour greatly enhanced the students’ judgement of size and scale of the three dimensional vegetation presented in the virtual walkthrough.
