Scientific Visualization Computer graphics makes vast quantities of data accessible. Numerical simulations frequently produce millions of data values. Similarly, satellite-based sensors amass data at rates beyond our abilities to interpret them by any other means than visually. Mathematicians use computer graphics to explore abstract and high-dimensional functions and spaces. Physicists can use computer graphics to transcend the limits of scale. With it they can explore both microscopic and macroscopic worlds. |
