ABSTRACT
Cost: Laptop and desktop-based computer systems with adequate 3D graphics acceleration range from $1.5 to $5K. Projection-based computer systems range from $5K to over $1M, depending on the display technology and resolution. In addition, there is the cost of software, which typically ranges from $500 to $50K, largely depending on its capabilities for creating detailed models efciently and for supporting effective and accurate model testing, and on the level of technical support offered by the supplier.
