RENCI @ ECU presents the 5th Annual Visualization Challenge
From cave drawings to Egyptian hieroglyphics, Greek geometry to Ptolemy's maps, and DaVinci's technical Renaissance drawings, humans have employed visualization through history to understand and shape our world. Computer graphics have more recently revolutionized scientific investigation and artistic expression.
The VisWall Challenge is an opportunity for students to advance and showcase their visual insights and creativity and to use ECU's 21x6-foot visualization wall ("VisWall"), a high-resolution, immersive display in Brewster C-202.
All students interested in scientific, creative, and educational visualization are encouraged to participate. Previous year’s entries ranged from 3D archeological ship reconstruction to vegetation mapping to genetic disease research using fruit flies.
Training and technical assistance using the VisWall is provided by RENCI faculty and staff. Presentations are approximately 10 minutes long and open to questions from the audience. Visit the video page for previous VisWall Challenges and particpants.
Faculty judges will evaluate the entries. The first place entry will be recognized during the 2012 Research and Creative Achievement Week. Student participants will also receive a $100 incentive stipend.
