This NSF ITR funded collarborative project. has the goal of developing perceptually optimal methods for visualizing data such as flow patterns, overlapping surfaces and overlapping surfaces. It makes use of a high resolution sterescopic display, capable of generating images at the limit of resolution of the human eye.

The project is a collaboration between the following PIs and their students Colin Ware, University of New Hampshire : Donald House Texas A&M: David Laidlaw, Brown: Jeffrey Proehl: Dartmouth:

This study by Karthik Natham and Colin Ware involved showing subjects 3456 different versions of the same two overlapping layers to discover the factors such as streak width, spacing, color and trasparency that best allow for the perception of two overlapping flow layers.
