SUMMARY Three-dimensional petroleum data are often laborious and difficult to analyse by means of a mouse, a keyboard, and a flat screen, even if the best computer graphics equipment is used. Virtual reality (VR) technology can be used to make the analysis of such data more efficient, and to facilitate interdisciplinary work. We present supporting arguments for these viewpoints, and outline the architecture of a virtual reality system for petroleum exploration and production (E&P). Then we summarize functionality in our prototype implementation. |
