ABSTRACT In many fields of observational research, it is increasingly common to collect many types of data about the activity of study participants, including things such as digital video, system logs, and sensor data. I will present ChronoViz, a tool I have developed for annotation, visualization, navigation, and analysis of multiple streams of time-coded data. Researchers using ChronoViz can navigate data in multiple ways, including through the use of interactive paper technology, and...

Doctors Zia Agha, Sam Ho and Rob El-Kareh briefly describe the value of visualizing EHRs (Electronic Health Records).

This 3-D experience even allows students to practice surgical techniques. When data becomes too complex to describe or even imagine, try bouncing it off a wall. But not just any wall. Measuring 14-by-8 feet, this giant behemoth is known as the VisWall (a product of Visbox, Inc.) and it can help researchers visualize some of the most complicated scientific concepts.

Visual communication via diagrams, sketches, charts, photographs, video, and animation is fundamental to the process of exploring concepts and disseminating information. The most-effective visualizations capitalize on the human facility for processing visual information, thereby improving comprehension, memory, and inference. Skilled designers create such visualizations by applying cognitive design principles that define how visual techniques can be used to emphasize important information...

The terminal view on the left shows a 'tail' of the AMBER code output for a simulation of Myoglobin, a protein found in muscle fibers. In this video, the output is being run on a single Intel E5462 2.80 GHz CPU. The terminal view on the right shows the same AMBER code output, but run on a single NVIDIA C1060 GPU. The GPU run is about 40 times faster than the CPU run.

This simulation shows a protein folding simulation of TRPCage (an artificially designed protein) running in implicit solvent. The simulation shows a single Intel E5462 2.80GHz CPU versus an NVIDIA C1060 GPU.

This video shows how the VisTrails system (http://www.vistrails.org) supports the creation provenance-rich publications, whose results can be reproduced and verified.

This simulation uses a flux-limited diffusion solver to explore the radiation hydrodynamics of early galaxies, in particular, the ionizing radiation created by Population III stars. At the time of this rendering, the simulation has evolved to a redshift of 3.5. The simulation volume is 11.2 comoving megaparsecs, and has a uniform grid of 1024^3 cells, with over 1 billion dark matter and star particles. The simulation was computed on resources of the National Institute for Computational...
