Role of Visualization in a Multidisciplinary Environment
- This presentation explores the
role of visualization in a multidisciplinary environment, like LBNL.
1997.
LBNL/NERSC CS 267 Lectures
Seeing is Not Believing!
- Don't blissfully believe everything you see in scientific visualization.
This talk was a solicited part of a panel
at IEEE Visualization 1995, and describes a specific instance in which
scientific visualization gave an incorrect answer due to bugs in
the underlying commercial software! Summer 1995.
Virtual Reality and Scientific Computing
- What is Virtual Reality, and how does it relate to Scientific
Computing at LBNL? This presentation
was prepared for one of our colleagues at the Idaho National Engineering
Laboratory, and is known internally as the "leg talk." Summer 1995.
