SUMMARY:

Immersive Visualization Bootcamp
June 12-14 2013
U Wyoming, Laramie
$200 per person, limited to 25 participants
Contact: Bill Sherman (shermanw at indiana.edu)

Sponsored by the Advanced Visualization Lab at Indiana University, in cooperation with the Center for Advanced Energy Studies at Idaho National Laboratory, U Wyoming and Kitware Inc.

DETAILS:

Indiana University is leading a pair of bootcamps on Immersive Visualization software in conjunction with the Idaho National Lab, the University of Wyoming, and Kitware Inc.

We have organized two of these bootcamps (both basically the same).

The first event, held in Indianapolis in March was well received.

We have now opened registration for the Western bootcamp to be held at U Wyoming in Laramie in the new Energy Innovation Center (EIC), using the brand new immersive visualization facilities of the School of Energy Resources (SER).

Each bootcamp is a full two-day event (but spread over three days).
The cost is $200/person -- basically for food and minor expenses.

The overall theme is a how-to session for open-source visualization software in VR (leaning toward CAVE-style) environments.

Some of the software is Unix-variant oriented, and a handful will work on Windows.

Presentations are geared toward teams that make immersive facilities available for scientific analysis, and for scientists seeking tools that can help them take advantage of existing facilities.

Planned topics include:
* General Purpose Vis (Immersive ParaView)
* Point-cloud data (LidarViewer)
* Volume Rendering (Toirt Samhlaigh)
* Molecular viewer (VMD)
* Matlab VR interface
* Archeology Vis with CalVR
* System configuration
* Low-cost Immersive Systems
* Human Computer Interface considerations
* Workflow examples at INL
* Interaction capabilities

Registration is now open for the second, "Western", bootcamp to be held at U Wyoming June 12-14 2013.

The material presented will generally follow the same syllabus as the Indianapolis bootcamp.
