Overview:
In the case of Virtual Reality, we can visualize beyond two-dimensional
mappings which allows us to view complete three-dimensional systems or
take three-dimensional Poincaré sections of higher dimension systems.
We used a game engine, Unreal Engine 4, to model these systems and to
help offload many calculations to our Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
without changes to the code. We now have a program that can model
basic examples of non-linear dynamical systems and we continue to work
toward modelling more systems through this program.
The general concept of visualizing nonlinear dynamical systems in a
three dimensional setting can already be seen as advantageous to
anyone attempting to predict the behavior of these systems.
