2.1. VR
2.1.1. Unified SteamVR/CyberCANOE API
2.1.1.1. On the immersive side, we have our own API based on Unity. https://github.com/uhmlavalab/CyberCANOE
2.1.1.2. UnReal and VR
2.1.1.3. We also have a point cloud library and shader for Unity. And I have a couple of students doing random acts of astronomy visualization with Brent Tully.
2.2. SAGE
2.2.1. Apps
2.2.1.1. Decision Support in Large Display Environments
2.2.1.1.1. HAVEN - Renewable Energy
2.2.1.1.2. Ike wai - Water sustainability
2.2.1.1.3. NetSage - IRNC network monitoring
2.2.1.1.4. Visualizing topic modeling for NSA
2.2.2. Linked Visualizations
2.2.2.1. Creating ways for SAGE visualizations to be aware of each other and to be able to automatically or semi-automatically create linkages.
2.2.3. For SAGE2 weʻve been surveying web-based viz portals/apps and seeing which ones work in SAGE2 via WebView. The goal is to:
2.2.3.1. 1. rate these in terms of compatibility
2.2.3.2. 2. determine which ones we might be able to make compatible by modifying SAGE2 in some way.
2.2.3.3. 3. find ones we could potentially partner with to help make them SAGE2 compatible.
2.2.3.4. 4. Come up with general guidelines for app and UI development on big walls to facilitate maximal usability and compatibility with SAGE2.
2.2.4. We are also interested in getting new apps developed and shared on the SAGE2 “store”.
2.2.5. SAGE3
2.2.5.1. Smart Amplified Group Environment
2.2.5.1.1. Developing a suite of AI integrated visualization tools
2.2.5.2. In thinking about the future (i.e. SAGE3) we are interested in the merging of AI with SAGE for the purposes of:
2.2.5.2.1. Automating UI interactions
2.2.5.2.2. Adding intelligence to existing SAGE apps- like Pdf viewer
2.2.5.2.3. Automated chart generation based on applying data science algorithms
2.2.5.2.4. Tools for enhancing collaborative creativity
2.2.5.2.5. Lastly, weʻre interested in novel user-interfaces- in particular natural language. We have been doing some work extending from our prior work in Articulate- to translate natural language queries into visualization. EVL is also interested in putting sensors in project room environments, and I have a faculty member who works on Internet of Things also potentially interested in doing something revolving around Intelligent meeting environments.
