VizNET 2007 Workshop
Intersections in Visualization Practices and Techniques
17-19 April Leicestershire, UK
This workshop aims to establish an international medium for the
exchange of new ideas and practical experience between researchers
working in the field of visualization from scientific and engineering
applications to the arts and humanities.
Who should attend?
? Arts and Humanities researchers, performers and artists, expert in
one or more areas of visualization, who would like an introduction to,
and overview of, other areas of visualization, including the latest
research results, ideas and applications.
? Arts and Humanities researchers, performers and artists new to
visualization who would like an introduction to, and overview of, the
latest visualization practices and techniques.
Format of workshop:
17 April: Half day introduction to what is visualization, what it can
do, how it has been used in the past, how it is currently used in
Scientific/Engineering and Arts/Humanities domains, followed by demos
on stereoscopic and grid-based visualization and a workshop dinner.
18 April: Full day workshop with nine sessions providing introductions
to, and overviews of ? Information Visualization v. Mathematical
Visualization
? Data Acquisition
? 3D Modelling
? Display Technologies
? Open Source Software v. Proprietary Software
? Games Platforms and MMORPGS
? Web-based "portal delivery" visualization
? Grid-based visualization
? Documentation
To be followed by a plenary discussion looking for intersections
between Scientific/Engineering and Arts/Humanities Visualization and a
workshop dinner. An excellent opportunity to network after gaining an
overview of what is available and who is working in which areas.
19 April: Full day of expert seminars in specialist areas.
Will there be follow-up activities?
VizNET 2007 is hosted by VizNET, the UK Visualization Support Network,
and 3DVisA, the 3D Visualisation in the Arts Network. Your input will
assist us to determine which communities of practice and which areas of
visualization could benefit from dedicated courses. It will also assist
us to identify emerging intersections in visualization practices and
techniques within which aditional network support could facilitate
cross-domain collaboration.
How much will it cost?
Registration is free of charge, but essential as places are strictly
