What is Visualization?
  • The transformation of data or information into pictures.
  • Scientific Visualization:
    • Encompasses user interface, data representation, processing algorithms, visual representations, and other sensory presentations.
As data/information becomes larger, scientist need to collaborate to better understand this information.
Use Java for platform independence, and ease of use of working with other languages (JNI) when needed for performance
