The Impact of Scientific Visualization on Workstation Development

  • Chapter
Workstations for Experiments

Part of the book series: IFIP Series on Computer Graphics ((IFIP SER.COMP.))

Abstract

The importance of developing tools for the scientist to present and understand very complex data has become well-established as a major need that spans nearly every scientific and engineering discipline [20]. The enormous diversity and complexity of the problem demands research into multi-dimensional data presentation techniques, studies of human perceptual capabilities, and human factors. The computational, graphical, and human interface demands of scientific visualization will be a dominant force in the growing expectations for workstations of the future.
