Vis Lunch!
Where: Conference Room WEB 3760
When: Friday noon
This semester Paul Rosen and Kristi Potter will be responsible
for organizing the VisLunch sessions. Please feel free to contact them
for any question regarding VisLunch or for scheduling a talk:
Paul Rosen prosen@sci.utah.edu Kristi Potter kpotter@sci.utah.edu
Information regarding the VisLunch sessions will posted on this wiki page (http://www.vistrails.org/index.php/VisLunch/Spring2011)
If you are unaware, VisLunch provides everyone at SCI a platform to present their research work and/or the latest developments in the community that could benefit the rest of us. In addition, the meeting is a great forum to give practice talks and improve your presentation skills. Plus there's _free_ pizza, and it's a nice opportunity to meet new people. Please let either Paul or Kristi know if 1.) You've submitted work to a research venue (e.g. recent conferences like Siggraph) and would like to share your ideas;
2.) You are preparing a submission to an upcoming venue (e.g. IEEE Vis, Siggraph Asia, etc.) and would like to get some feedback;
3.) Your work has been accepted to some venue and you are preparing a presentation you would like to practice; or
4.) You've recently read a new publication and are fascinated by the ideas and wish to share them with the rest of us.
Please consider volunteering to give a presentation at some point!
We're hoping that there will be enough presenters so that we don't
cancel any future weeks.

January 28: Uncertainty Visualization
Speaker: Kristi Potter
State of the Art in Uncertainty Visualization
The graphical depiction of uncertainty information is emerging as a problem of great importance in the field of visualization. Scientific data sets are not considered complete without indications of error, accuracy, or levels of confidence, and this information is often presented as charts and tables alongside visual representations of the data. Uncertainty measures are often excluded from explicit representation within data visualizations because the increased visual complexity incurred can cause clutter, obscure the data display, and may lead to erroneous conclusions or false predictions. However, uncertainty is an essential component of the data, and its display must be integrated in order for a visualization to be considered a true representation of the data. This talk will go over the current work on uncertainty visualization.
