ABSTRACT

In this chapter we address the issue of combining the design of interactive virtual environments with complex human data analysis schemas. A guideline of such a design in order to improve usability, efficacy and intuitiveness of the data content is also being addressed. The work presents a new system to manage and analyze the experimental data which are collected over time across experimental trials which involve different subjects and may span across years. A complete data workflow has been setup within the system. The system supports data acquisition and organization which is based on a self organizing, graphically edited digital format. The system architecture is interoperable by multimodal virtual environment and provides facilities to interact in real-time with complex data formats such as haptic, audio and video streams. e architecture is portable across most operating system and makes use of a standard database format allowing simple data sharing.
