The IVF utilises scientific visualisation to create 3D images and graphics that aid in the analysis of complex numerical representation.
This technology helps scientists see data sets in new ways so that they can find patterns or relationships and communicate their data to others.
Viewers feel completely immersed in the experience, and all images are displayed in 3D with the use of special goggles.
VDC projects are developed over three months in the IVF with the assistance of Texas A&M at Qatar’s visualisation expert.
Through offering this technological resource to researchers outside the University, Texas A&M at Qatar seeks to actively share its expertise for the betterment of the State of Qatar and its community.
Ali Sheharyar, senior lead software applications developer at the University, commented on the unique benefits of the competition saying, “Visualisation helps researchers make sense of a flood of data. It takes advantage of the natural abilities of the human vision system, giving researchers the ability to extract important information hidden within data.”
Developed projects in 2011 included “3D Visualisation of Demographic Data in Qatar,” co-submitted by Qatar Statistics Authority and Qatar University, and “3D Visualization of Looping, Tangling and Knot Formation of Surgical Threads,” submitted by Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar and Texas A&M at Qatar.
