Virtual reality technologies as an interface of cognitive communication and information systems

This paper describes research, development and teaching applications in area of parallel, distributed and network computing systems for solving computational processes in the processing of graphics data and virtual reality with a primary focus on information systems, intelligent interfaces, including the development of network communication environments, allowing searching and quality access to distributed multimedia resources (knowledge stocks) and services and their use in creating and delivery of new knowledge and services including the development of online platforms to access to multimedia content. Main part contains description of infrastructure of laboratory for systems of scanning and visualization of input/output data for management of information systems in the context of cognitive communication human-computing system in its parallel, distributed or networked implementation environment. Special attention is devoted to description of research and development of new flexible and intelligent interfaces of systems based on virtual reality technologies designed to work in the following areas: systems for a scanning and a creation of input data (tracking systems, 3D scanning, modeling, simulation), visualization engines for rendering the outputs in various forms and controlled using higher level languages for easy handling of objects, including script handling and interfaces for database systems for storing large data and information (graphical and non-graphical).
