Abstract:
We seek to support creativity in science, engineering, and design applications by building infrastructure that offers new capabilities for creative collaborative exploration of complex data in a variety of non-traditional computing environments. We describe particular novel environments and devices, including the Allosphere and the interactive Fogscreen, the software components to support collaborative interaction in mixed-media environments, and several key application scenarios that will leverage these capabilities. Our main focus is on supporting integrated visualization, sonification, and interaction capabilities in and across novel computing environments.
