Prop-Based Haptic Interaction with Co-location and Immersion: an Automotive Application
Most research on 3D user interfaces aims at providing only a single sensory
modality. One challenge is to integrate several sensory modalities into a
seamless system while preserving each modality's immersion and performance
factors. This paper concerns manipulation tasks and proposes a visuo-haptic
system integrating immersive visualization, tactile force and tactile feedback
with co-location. An industrial application is presented
Web Services over the UMV: Unified Visualization Model
Visualization is the science of transforming data or information into images, engaging the human visual sensory apparatus, as well as the processing power of the human mind. The result is a simple and effective medium for communicating complex information. In other words is the science of representing data in a visual form in order to achieve communication or understanding. Together with the growing demand of visualizing big volumes of data is growing the trend of developing Distributed Environments of Visualization. Therefore arises the necessity to design an architecture that allows desktop visualization using distributed resources which could be combined to solve the problem in an efficient way. In this context we present a new approach, that combines the visualization pipeline, the UVM (Unified Visualization Model) and the Web Service Concept.Workshop de Computación Gráfica, Imágenes y Visualización (WCGIV)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
Enhancing the usability and performance of structured association mapping algorithms using automation, parallelization, and visualization in the GenAMap software system
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Structured association mapping is proving to be a powerful strategy to find genetic polymorphisms associated with disease. However, these algorithms are often distributed as command line implementations that require expertise and effort to customize and put into practice. Because of the difficulty required to use these cutting-edge techniques, geneticists often revert to simpler, less powerful methods.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>To make structured association mapping more accessible to geneticists, we have developed an automatic processing system called Auto-SAM. Auto-SAM enables geneticists to run structured association mapping algorithms automatically, using parallelization. Auto-SAM includes algorithms to discover gene-networks and find population structure. Auto-SAM can also run popular association mapping algorithms, in addition to five structured association mapping algorithms.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Auto-SAM is available through GenAMap, a front-end desktop visualization tool. GenAMap and Auto-SAM are implemented in JAVA; binaries for GenAMap can be downloaded from <url>http://sailing.cs.cmu.edu/genamap</url>.</p
FROM ARCHIVE DOCUMENTATION TO ONLINE 3D MODEL VISUALIZATION OF NO LONGER EXISTING STRUCTURES: THE TURIN 1911 PROJECT
Rebuilding the past of cultural heritage through digitization, archiving and visualization by means of digital technology is becoming an emerging issue to ensure the transmission of physical and digital documentation to future generations as evidence of culture, but also to enable present generation to enlarge, facilitate and cross relate data and information in new ways. In this global effort, the digital 3D documentation of no longer existing cultural heritage can be essential for the understanding of past events and nowadays, various digital techniques and tools are developing for multiple purposes.
In the present research the entire workflow, starting from archive documentation collection and digitization to the 3D models metrically controlled creation and online sharing, is considered. The technical issues to obtain a detail 3D model are examined stressing limits and potentiality of 3D reconstruction of disappeared heritage and its visualization exploiting three complexes belonging to 1911 Turin World’s Fair
Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV): high-performance genomics data visualization and exploration.
Data visualization is an essential component of genomic data analysis. However, the size and diversity of the data sets produced by today's sequencing and array-based profiling methods present major challenges to visualization tools. The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance viewer that efficiently handles large heterogeneous data sets, while providing a smooth and intuitive user experience at all levels of genome resolution. A key characteristic of IGV is its focus on the integrative nature of genomic studies, with support for both array-based and next-generation sequencing data, and the integration of clinical and phenotypic data. Although IGV is often used to view genomic data from public sources, its primary emphasis is to support researchers who wish to visualize and explore their own data sets or those from colleagues. To that end, IGV supports flexible loading of local and remote data sets, and is optimized to provide high-performance data visualization and exploration on standard desktop systems. IGV is freely available for download from http://www.broadinstitute.org/igv, under a GNU LGPL open-source license
Interchanging Interactive 3-d Graphics for Astronomy
We demonstrate how interactive, three-dimensional (3-d) scientific
visualizations can be efficiently interchanged between a variety of mediums.
Through the use of an appropriate interchange format, and a unified interaction
interface, we minimize the effort to produce visualizations appropriate for
undertaking knowledge discovery at the astronomer's desktop, as part of
conference presentations, in digital publications or as Web content. We use
examples from cosmological visualization to address some of the issues of
interchange, and to describe our approach to adapting S2PLOT desktop
visualizations to the Web.

Immersive and Collaborative Data Visualization Using Virtual Reality Platforms
Effective data visualization is a key part of the discovery process in the
era of big data. It is the bridge between the quantitative content of the data
and human intuition, and thus an essential component of the scientific path
from data into knowledge and understanding. Visualization is also essential in
the data mining process, directing the choice of the applicable algorithms, and
in helping to identify and remove bad data from the analysis. However, a high
complexity or a high dimensionality of modern data sets represents a critical
obstacle. How do we visualize interesting structures and patterns that may
exist in hyper-dimensional data spaces? A better understanding of how we can
perceive and interact with multi dimensional information poses some deep
questions in the field of cognition technology and human computer interaction.
To this effect, we are exploring the use of immersive virtual reality platforms
for scientific data visualization, both as software and inexpensive commodity
hardware. These potentially powerful and innovative tools for multi dimensional
data visualization can also provide an easy and natural path to a collaborative
data visualization and exploration, where scientists can interact with their
data and their colleagues in the same visual space. Immersion provides benefits
beyond the traditional desktop visualization tools: it leads to a demonstrably
better perception of a datascape geometry, more intuitive data understanding,
and a better retention of the perceived relationships in the data.Comment: 6 pages, refereed proceedings of 2014 IEEE International Conference
