Abstract
Abstract
3D-seismic data can be displayed in different ways to give a spatial impression of the subsurface. They are a combination of individual vertical cuts, possibly linked to a cubical portion of the data volume, and the stereoscopic view of the seismic data. By these methods, the spatial perception for the structures and thus of the processes in the subsurface should be increased. Stereoscopic techniques are e. g. implemented in the CAVE and the WALL, both of which require a lot of space and high technical effort. The aim of the interpretation system shown here is stereoscopic visualization of seismic data at the workplace, i.e. at the personal workstation and monitor. The system was developed with following criteria in mind: Fast rendering of large amounts of data so that a continuous view of the data when changing the viewing angle and the data section is possible, defining areas in stereoscopic view to translate the spatial impression directly into an interpretation, the development of an appropriate user interface, including head-tracking, for handling the increased degrees of freedom, the possibility of collaboration, i.e. teamwork and idea exchange with the simultaneous viewing of a scene at remote locations.
