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.
