1 Topics

Topics can be drawn from any of a variety of areas. Some examples include:

• 3D Spirograph - A 3D electornic version of the classic toy that demonstrates the generation of curves of various kinds.
• Cartography Revisited - There are a number of ways to extend the cartography project, including: the use of elevation data, the inclusion of animations/visualizations of additional map projections, the presentation of socio-economic data, etc...
• Enhanced Reality - In an enhanced reality system, one superimposes information on top of the "real world". One example is the "first down line" that is superimposed on most television broadcasts of footbal games. There are a variety of different types of scientific visualizations/animations that can be superimposed on top of real-time/recorded video.
• Foucault's Pendulum - An extension of the pendulum project that involves a pendulum swinging above the surface of the Earth (which is rotating on its axis).
• Microeconomic Equilibrium - Models of supply-demand equilibrium in a single market and in two spatially separated markets. This is an extension of the classic "cobweb" dynamics.
• Visualization Contest - Visualization/animation of data sets used in past IEEE Visualization Contests (e.g., 2004, 2005)

2 Proposal Approval

You must get your project approved in advance. You must submit a brief (i.e., approximately one page), typed proposal that includes the system requirements for the application and a list of team members.

3 Collaboration

You may work on the project in groups (of up to 3 people).

4 Materials

All code, pictures and sounds must be original (i.e., do not plagiarize and do not infringe on any copyrights). You may use code developed/used for lectures or assignments.
