News: FractalForums.com is a forum for Fractal related discussion - Share your own fractal images and fractal movies with us. 
Discuss fractal theory, IFS, Mandelbrot sets and any forms of fractal art!  Some of our users are teachers and professors -
some are high school students - some come along just for the ride - but all share an enthusiasm for all things Fractal related.

The Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) is an interdisciplinary graduate research laboratory that combines art and computer science, specializing in advanced visualization and networking technologies.  The laboratory is a joint effort of UIC's (University of Illinois at Chicago) College of Engineering and The School of Art & Design representing the oldest formal collaboration between engineering and art in the country, offering graduate degrees in electronic visualization (MFA, MS, PhD).   [Check out the The CAVE Virtual Reality Theater.]

Take a tour of the Quaternion Julia Sets.  See the  "Interactive Visualization of Quaternion Julia Sets" which utilizes the inverse iteration method to produce a real-time point cloud of the quaternionic Julia set.  And many other MPEG movies...

thanks for the interesting link!

from one of the videos:

Dynamics of the Quaternion, 1989
Computer Animation:    John Hart

his distance estimation method is well known, and is fast enough to ray trace quaternion julia fractals in realtime on a gpu: http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/~kcrane/web/project_qjulia.html [fixed link]
