International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California === Virtual reality (VR) provides science operators with a time-saving tool for interpreting telemetry data. Therefore, the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite operations team decided to develop an inexpensive VR system to best address human operators' needs. The EVE (EUVE Virtual Environment) Project developed a solution to the issue of attaining maximum quality representation for minimal cost via a series of weighted trade-offs that maximize return with minimal development costs. Quantification of realism, methods of graphic representation, and hardware and software limitations are discussed.
