What is visualization of the real world? In our view, it means visualizing the environments around us, at scales we're accustomed to, sensing what we would normally sense. Unlike others in the field of visualization, we don't aim to provide X-ray vision,...

In many areas, learning involves understanding complex spatial phenomena. For example, engineers must master the construction of machines as a prerequisite for maintenance, and the spatial composition of molecules is an important task in chemistry. ...

Visually based techniques in computer graphics have blossomed. Important advances in perceptually driven rendering, realistic image display, high-fidelity visualization, and appearance-preserving geometric simplification have all been realized by ...

We use a simple statistical analysis to impose one image's color characteristics on another. We can achieve color correction by choosing an appropriate source image and apply its characteristic to another image

Transforming facial images along perceived dimensions (such as age, gender, race, or health) has application in areas as diverse as psychology, medicine, and forensics. We can use prototype images to define the salient features of a particular face ...

Why are 3D displays good for rapidly appreciating the third dimension of scenes? We show that information availability is more important than the 3D display format. Participants engaged in visual search for the attributes of altitude and pitch for ...

Large-format displays created by tiling multiple, projected images have been used for decades in flight simulators and entertainment and are commercially available in a variety of forms. More recently, various research organizations have built custom ...

The author uses models of visual perception to remove nonperceptible components of a 3D computer graphics scene and optimize the system's performance. He considers how much detail can be removed from the scene without the user noticing, and how much ...

Diagrams are essential in documenting large information systems. They capture, communicate, and leverage knowledge indispensable for solving problems and act as cognitive externalizations (intertwining internal and external processes to extract ...

The author discusses some of the ideas of quantum computing and then digs into the notation and terminology. He uses physics language and symbology because it is the language of quantum computing. Bracket notation, qubits, multibit registers, ...
