Abstract :
Visualization techniques provide valuable tools for interpreting the huge amount of data being generated by new detection devices and simulation algorithms. Their effectiveness is limited among other reasons, by the lack of a comprehensive approach towards considering human needs and exploring their abilities. This paper proposes a system and a model for integrating visualization and imaging techniques in order to study and implement strategies to enhance data and phenomena interpretation. This system (PowerVis) aims at providing new forms of graphical and auditory mappings that improve conventional approaches to visualization systems
