Faculty Mentor:
Professor David A. Yuen, Department of Geology and Geophysics
Project Description:
The Yuen VLab group is working jointly on a few related projects. One consists of visualizing and analyzing large geophysical datasets on the Powerwall display device. In addition to visualizing on the Powerwall, they are using the visualization software packages Amira and Paraview to learn from the results of numerical simulations. Another project is developing a Web-service for allowing visualization from Paraview software to be rendered and observed by remote users through the middleware NaradaBrokering.
