Ongoing research at the UMD Viz Lab

The Viz Lab is a hub for multi-disciplinary research opportunities. Throughout the year, faculty, graduate and undergraduate researchers utilize the lab to explore the integration of visualization technologies with data gathering and presentation. Current research focus is on improving the public outreach of scientific research through graphic design.

Along with faculty research, the Viz Lab also facilitates the exploration of new technologies and techniques, including game and animation experimentation, video production and the defining of informational, user-centered kiosk development within the university.
