About Visualization
Computer graphics is an extremely powerful means to communicate large or complex sets of information. Our staff are available to provide assistance in the use of our graphics and visualization packages, the development of custom computer graphics tools, the application of graphics algorithms, and the conversion of data into effective graphical representations
The Computer Graphics Lab houses high performance workstations and the Deep Vision Display Wall, both of which are available to faculty, graduate students, and students who need the specialized capabilities of the Lab. The Wall, SCV’s premier visualization facility is, a 15′ x 8′ stereoscopic display wall which is capable of displaying extremely high-resolution (18 MPixel) images.
SCV supports a full spectrum of software for computer graphics, scientific visualization, and virtual reality. These include Maya, Matlab, IDL, VTK, ParaView, Performer, OpenSceneGraph, OpenGL, the CAVE library, Chromium, and SCV’s in-house DAFFIE system.
Examples of some of the visualizations produced in conjunction with our staff and/or produced on our systems may be viewed in our visualizations gallery.
We also support a High Performance Computing in the Arts program, bringing together artists and technologists. Through this program we have developed a number of 3D virtual environments.
