The project aims to incorporate peripherals that will enhance scientists' sense of immersion while using various display venues. A scientist can use a peripherals like a keyboard and a mouse when viewing and manipulating data on a single monitor or on two monitors. However when there are larger display venues like ORNL's EVEREST facility and other tiled display environments a mouse and keyboard can become obtrusive. My task was to analyze the EVEREST facility and determine what type of tracking technology can be incorporated into the EVEREST facility. From the analysis and research on tracking technology I then made recommendations to my mentor on what type of product that should be bought. I also negotiated with the vendors of the tracking products and managed to get two demo products , so that we may test it out with the EVEREST facility with out having to buy anything upfront. My next task was to test an older version of a particular tracking device to see if any of the parts could be incorporated into the newer version to defray cost. Another task that I had to do was once again to analyze the EVEREST facility and determine what type of camera would be suitable for broadcasting video via the internet. I had to take in consideration the amount of lumens that the projectors produced and the darkness. This high contrast was an obstacle that I had to overcome.
