Perceptualization: Techniques for Efffective Image Generation Visualization and Communication of Information

Most scientists, doctors, analysts, and even computer animators are faced with a data deluge. They must analyze, extract meaningful information, and create solutions from huge quantities of data whose size is increasing at an enormous rate. However, screen resolution, image generation techniques, and visualization techniques are only making modest improvements. This has led us to take a different approach to image generation and visualization that we call perceptualization. We describe our initial work in perceptualization, the main challenges, and our current research directions.
