Publications
INFODECODATA is an exhibition of the Graphics Design Museum in Breda,
the Netherlands, which will start February 20th 2010. At INFODECODATA
various examples of my work are shown, including a large collection
of SequoiaView images of hard disks, myriahedral projections, flow
visualization and mathematical visualization.
MagnaView
MagnaView is a spin-off company based
on innovative technology from the visualization group. It provides
tools to visualize large tables in a variety of ways, where simultaneously
overviews as well as details are presented.
Regular Maps
How to generate highly symmetric tilings of closed surfaces?
Such tilings are called Regular Maps, see
here for more info.
Presented at ACM SIGGRAPH 2009.
Unfolding the Earth
What happens if we map the earth by gluing a large number of small maps
together? Check out
myriahedral projections.
Seifert surfaces
Given a knot, can you imagine an oriented surface bounded by that
knot? More info can be found
here.
Image Based Flow Visualization
Image Based Flow Visualization (IBFV) is a fast and versatile method for
the visualization of two-dimensional fluid flows. Animations of fluid flow
(textures, particles, etc.) are generated at 50 frames per second on standard
PCs with 3D graphics hardware. The 2D version of IBFV has been presented
at ACM SIGGRAPH 2002. More information can be
found here.
We have extended IBFV to deal with curved surfaces (presented
at IEEE Visualization 2003). More information can be found
here.
SequoiaView
Research at TU/e has led to an innovative method for tree visualization:
Cushion Treemaps. For a practical application, see the SequoiaView
homepage. With SequoiaView you can get insight in the contents of an
entire hard disk within a few seconds.
Image Based Rendering of Iterated Function Systems
A fast method to generate fractal imagery. More information can be found here.
The Preset Controller
An interactive solution for the exploration of large parameter spaces.
More information can be found here.
