by David C Nagel In the last five years visualization has gone from
the lab to become a desktop technology for many scientists. Images
and 3-D renderings of data sets and mathematical models have
evolved from the high-priced hardware and customized software of
graphics professionals to low-cost, off-the-shelf commercial
software running on personal computers. fu such, scientific
visualization has taken its place beside mathematical modeling as
an everyday means of interacting with one's data. This has
significantly changed both the amount and the quality of
information that scientists are able to extract from raw data, and
has effectively established a new paradigm for scientific
computing. In addi tion, new, low-cost hardware and software
technologies such as CD-ROMs, digital video, and Apple's QuickTime
time-based media of image and and compression technologies have
enabled large amounts animation data to be easily accessible to the
average researcher or teacher through the personal computer.
However, little has been done in the way of providing a context
within which the researcher or teacher could learn which approaches
might be best suited for a given problem. Furthermore, most
scientists are unfamiliar with the terminology and concepts in
modern computer graphics, which simply steepens the learning curve
for them to apply the new technologies to their work. fu a result,
researchers and teachers are not yet taking full advantage of the
new paradigm.
