Abstract

We present a software architecture that can be used to instrument interactive virtual environments with virtual probes to obtain quantitative information from geometric presentations. This architecture provides tools by which measurements can be obtained from multiple levels of data presentations, ranging from graphically displayed geometry to the underlying raw data sets.
