> An interactive, on-line, help-desk in visualization of spatial
> information.  We will be at the other end of the Internet, waiting
> for your questions and comments.
>
> We will:
>   provide on-line help and advice on how to use software
>       available from the Project ARGUS web server;
>   hold discussion on how to visualize spatial information;
>   hope to hear from people with novel problems, interesting data,
>        and uncomfortable ideas about displaying data.

> Further information (together with software and documentation) is

> Scientific Visualization is a rapidly developing area of activity in
> computing.  It is intended to assist those using large and complex
> (and not so large) datasets to explore those data visually, with
> control over many display attributes and rapid movement to other
> views and other data.  Spatial Scientists inherently have access to
> complex datasets, and traditionally have used visual methods for
> exploration of that data.  The creation of highly interactive
> visualization software has brought a new tool to this work.  Project
> Argus was established under the HEFCE JISC New Technologies
> Initiative to develop a Visualization Toolkit for the Spatial
> Sciences.  That toolkit is now coming on line and includes:
>
> cdv   cartographic data visualizer (software for visualization of
>       enumeration and time series data), with supporting Web-based
>       training and documentation
>
> 3dv   software and documentation for visualization of surface data
>
> All are available on the World Wide Web at URL:
>                 http://www.geog.le.ac.uk/argus
>
> As part of the process of delivering these materials to the
> community, we are making ourselves available to users, potential
> users and other interested individuals to discuss any aspect of
> scientific visualization as it relates to the spatial sciences.
>
> The exact format of the Roadshow is evolving and will be announced on
> the World Wide Web at the above URL. You can also contact members of
> the Argus team by email.
