Lockheed Martin Opens New NexGen Center

nextgenLockheed Martin is holding the opening dedication ceremonies today for their new NexGen Cyber Innovation and Technology Center in Gaithersburg, MD.  Designed to “foster innovation and collaboration”, the facility features cutting-edge technology, including some great visualization and telepresence technology.

The 25,000 square foot facility is designed complete with a global cyber innovation range to solve technology challenges in real-time while simulating customer environments. NexGen leverages partner and Lockheed Martin technologies to create rapid prototypes to speed the innovation of solution delivery while providing seamless security. Features of the center include: seven collaboration areas, a green IT data center, cloud computing platforms, telepresence and high definition video teleconferencing, and site connectivity to other Lockheed Martin facilities around the globe.

Read up more on the facility here.

Visualizing temporal events with Event Tunnels

event_tunnel

Researchers at Vienna & Austria have developed a new event visualization algorithm called “Event Tunnels”, and they’ve just released a report on it and how they were able to use it to visualize automated fraud detection in online betting and real-time monitoring of logistics processes.  InformationAesthetics describes it as so:

The data visualization technique is based on the metaphor of considering the event stream as a cylindrical tunnel, which is then presented to the user from multiple perspectives. The “top view” looks into the stream of events along the time-axis, so that events on the inner circles of the tunnel are displayed smaller to simulate perspective projection. The angular position of each event is not implicitly defined and can be controlled by the business analyst with placement policies. The “side view” plots the events in temporal order, and resembles process charts such as GANTT diagrams without the depiction of dependencies.

Looks interesting, and the PDF is available online here.

MachStudio Demonstration Dates announced

MachStudio, who we discussed earlier are using the FireGL Card acceleration from AMD and StudioGPU, have announced a trio of demo events in Ontario, Quebec, and California. Each of the three demonstrations will focus on one particular field that will benefit from the new technology. First Architectural, then non-linear workflow, then finally 3D Rendering and animation will all be demonstrated.
The dates are on the Event Calendar, and you can read the full details after the break.
