Scientific Visualization Visualize Validate Evaluate Explore! Insight Prediction Measure Hypothesize
Course Goals • Explore design process • Train new practitioners • New VR medium • Artists/designers that can work with scientists • Computer scientists that can work with artists • New visualization and interaction designs • Scientific advances • RISD/Brown bridge

What we’ll do • Design and technical lectures • Visuals, demos • Readings: visual, design, technical • Design and implementation assignments • All targeted at the cave, many realized • Group crits • Final project • Field trips, guest lectures
Assignments • Natural Force and Form • Gradients and 2D Visualization of Multiple Variables • 3D Visualization of Multiple Variables • Anatomy, Kinematics and Aerodynamics: Design the Perfect Wing! • Interactivity and Selection • Final Project
What we’ll do • Design and technical lectures • Visuals, demos • Readings: visual, design, technical • Design and implementation assignments • All targeted at the cave, many realized • Group crits • Final project • Field trips, guest lectures
Project • Refined design elements • Evaluated and well understood
Some Rules and an Estimate • Read e-mail • Handouts on the web • Nothing late • Damages collaboration • Makes the work pointless – misses the crit! • Something due every class • Classes not redundant • ~ 15 hours per week
and a Caveat • This is an experiment • Exciting • Fun • No one should get hurt… • Questions?
