Viz Lab

About this original series

The advent of high technology information, imaging, and media systems has fostered a modern renaissance in visualization. During the European Renaissance, many of the period's great painters were not only artists, but also scientists, architects, and engineers. Today's visualizers need skill spanning these older disciplines as well as several new ones, such as computer science, video technology, and psychology. In fact, the range of skills is so broad that no one person can master them all, and collaborative teams have replaced the solitary genius. Strong participants on such teams have both expertise in a specialty area and the broad background necessary for effective collaboration with other team members. The Visualization Sciences academic program addresses the power of digital communication in the 21st century.The Master of Science in Visualization Sciences, founded in 1989, is designed to prepare students for a range of careers in visualization. The program helps students develop the focused expertise and broad foundation knowledge needed in the burgeoning field of digital and electronic visualization. Graduates have achieved success as creative directors, computer animators, university professors, software designers and many other related professions.more info...
