My work consists of completing a variety of administrative tasks that promote the VE Lab's projects.
Tag: visualization
Visualization is an important tool for researchers in many fields, from data science to biology to the humanities.
Visualization researchers engage in projects with departments such as Industrial and Systems Engineering, Design Studies, Library and Information Studies, Nursing, Art, Dance as well as projects in Digital Humanities.
Visualization is a key component of WID’s Data Science Hub.
Lessons of Conventional Imaging Let Scientists See Around Corners
Discover Fellow Andreas Velten and collaborators, drawing on the lessons of classical optics, have shown that it is possible to image complex hidden scenes using a projected “virtual camera” to see around barriers.
WID Researchers Collaborate on UW2020 Projects
Researchers at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery are co-Principal Investigators and co-Investigators on four UW2020: WARF Discovery Initiative projects.

WID Hubs Launch at Illuminating Connections Event
WID’s new hubs—Data Science, Multi-Omics, and Illuminating Discovery—represent a new path forward for collaborative research projects and fields.
Cap Times Q&A: Kevin Ponto Wants to Use Virtual Reality to Solve Real-world Problems
For WID’s Kevin Ponto, virtual reality is more than a way of playing video games or simulating roller coaster rides. He thinks VR can be a tool for solving real-world problems.
WSJ: Weather Forecasts Should Get Over the Rainbow
Professor Karen Schloss of WID’s Visual Reasoning Lab tells the Wall Street Journal about the pitfalls of the rainbow-colored maps used to communicate during storms like the recent Hurricane Florence.

Role of perceptual features (e.g. color) in cognitive processing and information visualization
Ahna Skop
Professor
Mechanisms that underlie cell division and using scientific art to engage the public
Why Blue is the World’s Favorite Color
Karen Schloss talks about the psychology behind color preferences in an interview for Artsy.
Virtual Environments Group
The LEL is a space and a place where scholars explore the connections among environment, technology, human action, experience, and visualization, with expertise in virtual and augmented reality.
Schloss Visual Perception and Cognition Lab
Investigating how observers make predictions about objects and entities based on their cognitive and emotional responses to perceptual information; focusing on how people’s associations with colors influence cognitive processing in aesthetic response, judgment and decision making, and interpretation of information visualizations.
Ponto Lab
Develop techniques to better the experience of virtual reality through new devices, interfaces, and techniques.
LEL Videos
A day in the life of WID – check out our systems programmer, Ross Tredinnick, navigating a real home environment in the CAVE around 0:28 minutes. Note: the video above does not have any sound.
