The Visualization and Graphics Research Group of the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) consists of eight faculty members and approximately 30-35 researchers, all working on problems in visualization, geometric modeling, computer graphics, computational geometry, graphics architecture, and immersive technologies. Our laboratory provides researchers with access to state-of-the-art computing and visualization technology through high-end graphics workstations, multiple PC clusters, parallel computing facilities, a multi-tile display wall, and virtual reality equipment for immersive stereoscopic rendering.

Our research efforts are supported through the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory), Electronic Arts, and several industrial sponsors.
