Dr Reddy worked in the area of terrain visualization. This work involved the real-time display of massive terrain databases that are distributed over wide-area networks. Dr Reddy now works for Pixar Animation Studios. His research interests include level of detail, visual perception, and computer graphics. His doctoral research involved the application of models of visual perception to real-time computer graphics systems, enabling the selection of level of detail based upon measures of human perception. He received his B.Sc. from the University of Strathclyde and his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, UK. He served for two years on the Board of Directors of the Web3D Consortium and chaired the GeoVRML Working Group. Dr Reddy is co-author of a book called Level of Detail for 3D Graphics, published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers (see LODBook.com).

	DEM to GeoVRML Converter DEM2GeoEG is a program to convert USGS Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data into a VRML .wrl file that uses the GeoVRML 1.0 GeoElevationGrid. The GeoElevationGrid is a version of the standard ElevationGrid but it lets you georeference the data to geographic coordinate systems such as UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator).
	GeoTransform Package This package provides efficient and accurate geographic coordinate transformations in the Java language. It includes support for geodetic (lat/long), geocentric, UTM, lambert conformal conic, mercator, and OSGB coordinate systems.
	GeoVRML GeoVRML is an extension to the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML97) to support geographic applications.
	TerraVision TerraVision is a distributed, interactive terrain visualization system developed by SRI International. It allows users to navigate, in real time, through a 3-D graphical representation of a real landscape created from elevation data and aerial images of that landscape. All data can be distributed over the Web and support is provided for overlaying GeoVRML 3D models.
	tsmApi Library The Tile Set Manager (TSM) Application Programming Interface (API) is an Open Source library of high level C functions for reading, writing, and processing the terrain data used by the TerraVision terrain visualization application.
