VISTech 2013 - VISTech Workshop: Visualization Infrastructure & Systems Technology

Human perception is centered on the ability to process information contained in visible light, and our visual interface is a tremendously powerful data processor. Every day we are inundated with staggering amounts of digital data. For many types of computational research, visualization is the only viable means of extracting information and developing understanding from this data. Integrating our visual capacity with technological capabilities has tremendous potential for transformational science. We seek to explore the intersection between human perception and large-scale visual analysis by studying visualization interfaces and interactive displays. This rich intersection includes: virtual reality systems, visualization through augmented reality, large scale visualization systems, novel visualization interfaces, high-resolution interfaces, mobile displays, and visualization display middleware. This workshop will provide a space where experts in the large-scale visualization technology field and users can come together to discuss state-of-the art technologies for visualization and visualization laboratories.
This workshop is organized by Kelly Gaither, Texas Advanced Computing Center, Falko Kuester from the University of California, San Diego, Jason Leigh, University of Illinois at Chicago, Aditi Majumder from the University of California, Irvine, and Eric Wernert, Indiana University.
