Project Description:
The motivation behind the project is the pressing need to interact with big 3D datasets and to provide tools to domain experts so that they effectively communicate their research insights. The amount of data produced by imaging systems is growing in size and complexity. Domain experts are analyzing and discussing the data, extracting useful information and insights. Especially, in the medical and astronomical domains 3D datasets are the norm, presenting additional challenges in terms of visualization and interaction for these domain experts. Moreover, clear presentation and successful communication of the results is essential for sharing the domain experts' understanding. Here, visual storytelling, based on creating visual stories from data, provides an effective communication solution. This project aims to address these exploration and communication challenges by developing effective interaction techniques for exploring 3D data and for creating data-driven stories.
