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.
Weipeng Zhou
Focus on the development and application of statistical tools for high-dimensional "omics" data
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.
Image Lab
WID’s Image Lab, led by cartoonist and Discovery Fellow Lynda Barry, is a flexible classroom space dedicated to real-time creative activity to help encourage a different take on problem-solving.
