Title: Hypercomplex Iterations -- Distance Estimation and Higher Dimensional Fractals Post by: Nahee_Enterprises on March 09, 2007, 09:25:28 PM 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.]
http://www.evl.uic.edu/hypercomplex/ (http://www.evl.uic.edu/hypercomplex/) 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...
