The International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge is coming up, and to open the submission process they’ve released a great video highlighting the winners since 2006.

Creating visualizations of scientific data is a particularly challenging task. It requires artistry, advanced computing skills, the ability to grasp the scientific concepts, and the creativity to conceive of new ways to display data. The successful visualization must be pleasing to both the eye and intellect, providing researchers with practical, even insightful perspective on their data.
