Paper Abstract
Adaptive Optics (AO) concepts involve sometimes very complex behaviors of rays, waves and optical elements. Just
think, to be convinced, the way multiple probes aim to correct for a large field of view Multi Conjugated AO, and to how
these deploy onto a dynamic turbulent atmosphere. In order to explain the behavior of novel concepts we developed
visualization techniques that involve the display of three dimensional images and the creation of movies to explain how
the concept deals with an evolving situation, or, in other words, adding the fourth dimension of time. We produce solid
models of the optical concepts we are developing, including the evolving temporal behavior of the turbulence, and these
can be manipulated in a virtual manner in order to allow for the production of different means of visualization. These
ranges from so called "static movies" where a three dimensional concept is just explored in three dimension by handling
it around the observer, to the creation of three dimensional anaglyphs or anaglyphs movies. While the paper is mainly
focused onto the ways these techniques are exploited in order to produce satisfactory results, the poster allow the visitor
to experience some of these images and movies. The aim of this work is not only of a sort of high level didactical
purpose, but we think it would be useful into scientific discussion and during meeting to develop engineering concepts of
several AO concepts.
