Remote VR Visualization System VR-PBVR 1.0 (2023/03/29)

Remote visualization software PBVR (CS-PBVR) compresses large data on remote storage into particle data and transfers it to a user PC for efficient visualization.

VR-PBVR is an extension of CS-PBVR's visualization functionality for the Oculus head-mounted display. This enables interactive VR visualization of large-scale data stored on remote storage on a PC at hand.
