When a computer screen alone is not enough to represent needed, special tools such as Virtual/Augmented Reality headsets or CAVE (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environments) are needed. Data Visualization at its core is the development of applications dedicated to the representation of complex data utilizing mediums ranging from the humble LCD screen to the emerging technologies of tomorrow. Immerse yourself in the data and manipulate it at your fingertips with a career in Data Visualization.
Typically when visualizing data on paper, simple 2-dimensional graphs are used. When there is data that needs more than an X and a Y-axis, animations on a computer screen are used. What happens when the data that needs to be displayed has more than 3 axis? What happens when the data that needs to be visualized has more axis than you can count on two hands? What happens when your data has hundreds of axis? Visualization has the tools and techniques to accomplish this, but you are the one to put them to use. Computer Information Research Scientists: Computer Programmer: Computer Systems Analysts: The UA Little Rock’s EAC in collaboration with the SEEDS Cybersecurity Center is developing a virtual-reality enabled visualizations network to thwart attacks in the electric power distribution industry. The Emerging Analytics Center at UA Little Rock has also participated in a past project for the visualization of multidimensional marketing data. Discipline Description
