First Annual Visualization Challenge 2008
The RENCI at ECU Center for Coastal Systems Informatics and Modeling (C-SIM) is pleased to announce a student Visualization Challenge! The Challenge is open to creative visualization as well as scientific and technological topics, the prime requirement being use of the viswall itself as a medium.
The Process
- Students submit an entry form, including a topic and particular software needs. I've asked people to describe their project and any special needs (e.g., software) on the entry form. If we have 10-20 students participating from across campus, it'll be a success. Students will be contacted and confirmed participants after receiving and reviewing entries.
- Ample access and support on the viswall will be provided in the intervening 10 weeks.
- In April we will have an informal presentation and juding, modeled after "American Idol", tentatively Monday, April 21).
- Presentation by the finalists during RENCI's Open House (tentatively Thursday, April 24).
The contest has garnered support for prizes from RENCI, the Center for Hazards Research, the Coastal-Maritime Council, Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Scienecs, and Center for GIScience (Apple iPODs, download certificates, etc.)
