Immersive Analytics: New Approaches to Scaling High-Performance Visualization

Nicholas Polys
Virginia Tech

Several trends are accelerating the flow from the acquisition and analysis of data to the production of human knowledge. Powerful hardware and efficient software are producing large amounts of simulation and sensor data products. Analytic and decision-making environments are fusing more and more data sources and types for human sense-making. In this talk, I will present an approach to scaling High-Performance Visualizations (HPV) for human design, decision-making, and discovery. We consider visual analytics as an optimization problem of information channels between mind and computer, seeking to optimize throughput based on both computational and perceptual/cognitive principles. We reflect on the deployment of HPV display platforms in a university setting and consider the challenges and opportunities for scaling human interaction and perception in immersive analytics.
