Here’s a conference I’ve never heard of before, the 2011 Gordon Research Conference on Visualization in Science & Education. Looks like it’s very heavy on use of visualization tools in classrooms and training environments, as well as on the use of video game and virtual world technology to further education. I recognize a few names on the agenda, but I’m really curious about some of the talks like Gigapixel-scale Video and “Creative Removal of Inessential Information”.
The 2011 Gordon Conference on Visualization in Science and Education will continue to challenge our vibrant and cohesive interdisciplinary community to explore how visualizations of data, concepts and phenomena (from simple to highly complex) can be best be used to increase understanding and facilitate learning at all levels. The immense computational power, large data sets, and online tools that are now available to all disciplines and even the general public are dramatically changing what can be visualized and even the very process of creation.
