Various stages in the development of computer models to support research in acoustics will be considered. Emphasis will be placed on the use of interactive computer graphics to provide increased comprehension and thus new insights into the nature of the experimental data. Specifically, problems of image enhancement will be discussed as they relate to visual perception of multidimensional models where the number of dimensions necessary to achieve new insights has been extended beyond three. A film summarizing some of the results achieved to date will be shown.
