CAVE2

September 11. 2011

Developers: Andrew Johnson, Maxine Brown, Jason Leigh, Tom Peterka, Luc Renambot, Lance Long, Jonas Talandis, Daniel Sandin, Alan Verlo

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

SAGEBridge

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

GLIF Accelerates Optical Networking

22 October 2010

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

UCSD Researchers Receive NSF Award to Support Data-Intensive Applications for Advanced Networks

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

Technology Transfer: UIC / EVL Partners with Industry to Advance 3D Visualization Display Technology

November 16, 2011

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

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.
