Scope of Course

Overview

Due to the nature of the course, no more than seven participating units will be admitted. The use of team-based units is negotiable. Priority Admission to SDSMT Strategic Research Areas by Course Section as assessed by the presiding professors. This course is one of three separate courses on preparing data for the Black Hills Advanced Visualization Lab (BHAVL)

ATM 597.Viz_Meteo: Immersive Visualization of Meteorological Data
ATM 597.Viz_Geo: Immersive Visualization of Geophysical Data
ATM 597.Viz_Eng: Immersive Visualization of Engineering and Abstract Data

These courses are to provide the SDSMT research community access to the BHAVL by presenting the facility and its software to the community, and by training the research units in the use of the relevant software and hardware. Most importantly, the courses will provide the basics of translating their native or common data formats to those compatible to the BHAVL facilities.

Special Needs

Prospective participants are warned in advance that immersive visualization requires perspective vision (active stereo can mitigate this issue, however), color vision, and some people can experience nausea when in the visualization environments for extended periods of time.

Specific physical issues to the individual, machine related or otherwise, should be brought explicitly to the attention of both professors and that of campus ADA Coordinator & Dean of Students before class proceeds.
