CAVE2, is a scientific instrument that enables researchers to visualize data in a fully immersive 3D stereoscopic environment; it serves as the lense of a “telescope” or “microscope,” enabling them to see their e-science datasets that reside in cyberspace. Its development is being funded by the National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program …continue reading
SAGE BIRDS OF A FEATHER (BOF): Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) for Global Collaboration
November 16, 2010
Ernest N. Moriale Convention Center (ENMCC), New Orleans
Today’s scientists are tackling issues of global priority – such as the environment, geoscience, bioscience, disaster response, and the physical nature of the universe, to name a few – and need the ability to view ultra-resolution images and/or create “cyber-mashups,” …continue reading
The use of OptIPortal visualisation walls amongst Australian institutions has grown to a level where interaction beyond the usual point-to-point has become feasible. This has opened up interesting opportunities for multisite collaborations, which are now driving demand for stable middleware to manage such wall-to-multiwall interactions.
SAGE (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment), developed by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is a cross-platform graphics streaming architecture that is gaining broader acceptance in serving this purpose …continue reading

The 10th Annual Global LambdaGrid Workshop was held on the 13th and 14th of October 2010 at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was an appropriate venue as this multinational experiment is one of the biggest users of state-of-the-art optical networking, and also one of the most active participants in the GLIF community. Nearly 100 people attended the event, which included managers, engineers, researchers and developers from national research and education networks (NRENs), universities, research institutions and industry around the world …continue reading
San Diego, Calif., July 26, 2010
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Northwestern University have received a 3-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to encourage and enhance digital communication and collaboration between the U.S. and international science and engineering research and education communities. The award was announced at the GENI Engineering Conference, which showcased the NSF-funded research being conducted under the Global Environment for Network Innovations program.
The project, known as International Research Network Connections (IRNC) TransLight/StarLight, will enable multi-national collaborations by integrating high-performance networks with advanced data-intensive applications so that scientists and engineers can communicate with colleagues while simultaneously conducting major research projects. Researchers will, for example, be able to share data from instruments, sensors, high-definition cameras, data storage and computational resources located throughout the world …continue reading

EDITOR’S NOTE: The UIC NEWS article “Learning in 3-D,” published November 16, 2011, announced the UIC Electronic Visualization Laboratory’s (EVL) new 3D version of its popular Cyber-Commons’ technology-enhanced classroom and meeting room.
The article explained that the technology used to build the Cyber-Commons 3D tiled display wall – 3D ultra-thin border, flat-panel displays – was developed by EVL in partnership with Planar Systems, an Oregon-based company. EVL received funding to work on this from a U.S. National Science Foundation economic stimulus grant. This collaboration proved mutually beneficial, as EVL got customized technology that surpassed what was commercially available, and Planar got a new product to market …continue reading
A scene in Star Wars. Life-like avatars. Cave Automatic Virtual Environment. They all germinated in UIC’s Electronic Visualization Lab. A place where the clock is always 15 years fast.
This article, by Stuart Luman, appeared in “UIC Alumni Magazine,” Winter 2011 …continue reading
Society for Information Display (SID)

Seattle, Washington
May 23-28, 2010
The SID Symposium, held in Seattle, Washington, is the premier international gathering of scientists, engineers, manufacturers and users for the discussion, presentation, viewing and evaluation of information display technology. This year’s meeting featured a Digital Signage session in which Sachin Deshpande from Sharp Laboratories of America (SLA) talked about EVL SAGE advanced graphical user interface (GUI) research that SLA is funding. SLA is interested in issues of multiple simultaneous users (what Deshpande calls “advanced user interaction”) on the tiled wall display, producing both new display and audio technologies.
Knowledge Capital Trial 2010 Workshop
Osaka, Japan
June 9-10, 2010
Dr. Shinji Shimojo (Senior Scientist, NICT), giving a presentation at Trial 2010 in front of the Osaka/VisLab tiled display.
On June 10 in Japan, a major event in Osaka to promote it as the Knowledge Capital of Japan featured SAGE Visualcasting demonstrations. Participants included the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Tokyo, Osaka University’s VisLab, NCHC and NTUT in Taiwan, University of Queensland in Australia, and Calit2 in the US. EVL remotely operated the SAGE Wall at Calit2.
17th World Congress on IT (WCIT 2010)
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
