The University of Illinois is announcing a new “eDREAM Institute”, a branch of the Advanced Visualization Laboratory, to focus on Digital Media & Data Visualization.
The new institute, already approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education, is an outgrowth of the Advanced Visualization Laboratory. It recently presented to members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science its work on Ultra Hi Res Stereo Theater.
In that, the laboratory collaborates with scientists to produce digital visualizations or depictions of scientific data. Visualizations have been created in the areas of cloud formation and air flow, the nonlinear evolution of the universe, and an F3 tornado.
The laboratory also works with the Museum of Science and Industry, Adler Planetarium, the American Museum of Natural History and other museums where artists and scientists collaborate to produce data-driven digital visualizations.
