Abstract
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has the potential to be a powerful tool for the visualization of burgeoning scientific data sets and models. We sketch a research agenda for the hardware and software technology underlying IVR for scientific visualization. In contrast to Brooks' (1999) excellent survey which reported on the state of IVR and provided concrete examples of its production use, this article is somewhat speculative. It does not present solutions but rather a progress report, a hope, and a call to action, to help scientists cope with a major crisis that threatens to impede their progress.Keywords
