Rapid advances in computer technology allow computer screens to be filled with complex visual information at near real time rates. Simulations that once required supercomputers are now commonly run on desktop workstations. However, these advances have done little to help people understand the meaning of their data. The lack of understanding stems from the fact that machines process data in numerical form, while humans more easily comprehend visual data. We rely on graphs and charts to attain information and insight. The research of Professor Gooch, combines computer graphics techniques for creating artistic imagery with the evaluation methods of perceptual psychology in order to enhance the communication capability of computer generated imagery.
