  1. Visualization: From Pixels to Insight March 3, 2007 UBC CS TechTrek

  2. create or manipulate images with computer movies, games, photorealistic simulation Computer Graphics

  3. create or manipulate images with computer movies, games, photorealistic simulation but wait, there’s more! Computer Graphics

  4. Visualization • using interactive computer graphics to help people understand information better • substitute visual perception for cognition • make the computer do the hard work • some ways we've used it so far • untangling biology • seeing what we speak • finding who's who in the movies • playing with math
