Computers and 3D graphics applications are continuously increasing in power, memory, and rendering capabilities, making larger and more complex 3D scenes possible. Domains such as medical visualization, architecture and urban design, geospatial scanning, astrophysics, biochemistry, and abstract data analysis are beginning to consider massive datasets. Many of these datasets contain objects that exist at multiple scales, that is, the objects have meaningful observable properties at scales that are one or more orders of magnitude apart.
This project investigates the properties and qualities of multiscale datasets in an effort to gain critical insights needed, in user experience and understanding, to make progress in increasingly complex contexts.
