The Electronic Visualization Laboratory does many tours, demos and presentations to assist the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Engineering with minority education and recruitment programs. On June 18, 2010, EVL hosted a teacher and several of his students from Chicago’s Austin Polytechnic High School as part of the University of Illinois Affiliate Project Lead The Way (PLTW) program. This PLTW trip was organized by Dr. Wally Goncharoff of the UIC College of Engineering.

After the tour and discussions, the teacher sent an email to Dr. Goncharoff saying, “…the effect of your tour on their imaginations and positive conception of UIC cannot be overstated.”

EVL Education & Outreach: Project Lead the Way


Dr. Andy Johnson uses SAGE to give an EVL overview presentation to Illinois PLTW STI teachers in EVL’s Cyber-Commons room.

UIC/EVL, Chicago, IL
July, 2010

On July 21, 2010, 30 math and science high-school teachers from four midwestern states toured EVL as part of a two-week intensive University of Illinois Summer Training Institute (STI), a continuing education program offered by the Illinois Project Lead The Way initiative. The University of Illinois became a PLTW National Affiliate University in 2005, offering STI sessions on its Chicago and Urbana-Champaign campuses, sponsoring statewide PLTW conference and professional development activities, coordinating program implementation and record keeping, and maintaining the statewide Illinois PLTW program website …continue reading

Luc Renambot (speaking), Maxine Brown, Sungwon Nam and Jason Leigh participated remotely from EVL in the MSI-CIEC Workshop. In this photo, taken at EVL, Renambot’s Powerpoints appear on the left side of the screen. MSI-CIEC attendees appear in the right-most display window.

The GreenLight MSI-CIEC Workshop, held at Calit2/UCSD, focused on the Calit2 NSF-funded GreenLight project on the first day, and focused on OptIPortals the second day. Demos featured a remote SAGE presentation and demo by Luc Renambot of the UIC Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) to attendees in the Calit2 Virtulab in San Diego.

For this PRAGMA 18 demo, data was streamed from a storage server located at StarLight to the SAGE tiled display wall at Calit2. In particular, EVL streamed an animation of Mt. Hood, Oregon, created by PRAGMA member and SAGE user AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) of Japan. EVL and Calit2 were also connected via Polycom (output directed to the tiled display wall) so the two groups could talk to one another.

EVL PhD candidate Sungwon Nam presented the paper “Multiapplication, Intertile Synchronization on Ultra-High-Resolution Display Walls,” by Sungwon Nam, Sachin Deshpande, Venkatram Vishwanath, Byungil Jeong, Luc Renambot and Jason Leigh, at the ACM Multimedia Systems 2010 conference. It described two SAGE synchronization algorithms and approaches to achieve low-latency, inter-tile synchronization for multiple applications with independently varying frame rates.
