Design innovations and government-sponsored financial incentives are making solar energy increasingly attractive to homeowners and institutional customers such as school districts. In particular, the passive solar design concept of daylighting is gaining favor among educators due to evidence of improved performance by students working in daylit classrooms. Electricity-generating photovoltaic sy...

This paper describes the early stages of research into defining daylight scenarios encountered by vehicles and outlining which are the worst-case situations with respect to display readability. The main objective of the research is to design a facility capable of recreating a wide range of daylight scenarios to perform controlled, repeatable and reproducible readability assessments within autom...

Space Series is a new focus-plus-context technique for presenting both spatial and temporal data in a single 2D plot. Initially, the display shows an overview of the temporal distribution of the data. Focus is then interactively applied along the X-axis, the Y-axis, or both, expanding the spatial dimension of the data set. When focusing is applied simultaneously along both axes, twodimensional ...
