Wintersemester 2025/2026
| Zeit: | Mittwoch, 4. DS (13:00 bis 14:30) |
| Ort: | APB E023 |
| Umfang: | 2V/2Ü/0P SWS |
| Sprache: | Englisch |
This course is jointly provided with the CGV group:

This lecture covers the basics and practices of visualization of measurement and experimental data as well as simulation results. It teaches the basics of visual perception and their influence on the design of visualizations. Students will learn to confidently specify data by dimension, feature types, and structure and select appropriate visual attributes for a given specification. They learn the most important visualization forms for 2-, 3- and multidimensional observation spaces as well as for scalar, vectorial, tensor-valued and multidimensional features. They will be able to select suitable techniques for the respective visualization task.
Lectures take place in APB E023, in presence.
Note: Prof. Gumhold is on a research sabbatical, so the SciVis lectures will be provided only in video format. Thus, feel free to manage them at your desired pace.
