Visualization Centers Put Focus on AV By Linda Seid Frembes
As AV technology advances, certain market segments are pushing the boundaries of its application. In the education sector, the development of visualization centers in partnership with technology organizations and industry benefactors are putting a focus on the relationship between AV and IT.

"In the late 1990s, the oil industry created visualization centers as a way to look at large volumes of data. The first company to achieve a visualization center was Texaco, followed days later by Chevron," explains Dr. Eric Frost, geology professor and co-director of the San Diego State University (SDSU) Visualization Center (Viz Center), who worked with several oil companies on these centers. The SDSU Viz Center and the cross-town Scripps Institution of Oceanography Visualization Center at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), are connected to Larry Smarr's California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). The two centers were the first two to be optically linked to fully collaborate, sharing entire data visualizations and people via fiber. Optical collaboration of the people was brought together by Viz Center Co-Director Bob Welty. more>>
