SuperVise: Using grid tools to simplify visualization

Osborne, James; Wright, Helen

Abstract

The visualization process is complicated enough for visualization experts but more so for domain specialists. Problems include managing the transfer of large datasets and choosing appropriate techniques. When we consider performing these tasks in a modern visualization laboratory setting, with multiple software packages producing output on a range of devices, the problems become even more intractable. The practicalities of developing such complicated visualizations necessitate the presence of a visualization engineer, or visioneer, to drive the hardware and software based on requirements elicited from the domain specialist. Using SuperVise the visioneer avoids repeating the implementation of given visualization techniques. SuperVise decouples the visualization processing from the display of results, allowing domain specialists to make greater use of available software and hardware, using different packages and on different devices, with a minimum of specialist knowledge.
