Scientific visualization is the only tool capable to explore overwhelming amounts of data produced by computational and real world experiments. Goal of DataDisplay project is to provide researchers with high fidelity interactive tools to display large amounts of changing data in near-realtime.
Our main product is DynamicDataDisplay (http://dynamicdatadisplay.codeplex.com) class library for .NET Framework available both in desktop and Silverlight versions. DynamicDataDisplay is designed to be lightweight but powerful class library that is able to interactively display millions of data points without imposing restrictions on input data. Desktop version of DynamicDataDisplay makes use of DirectX 11 and modern graphics hardware to provide high performance rendering. DynamicDataDisplay for Silverlight uses special techniques such as progressive rendering to retain interactivity even for large data sets. Supported visualizations include line and marker graph, heatmaps, contour lines. DynamicDataDisplay is used in DataSetViewer tool available from Microsoft Researh site (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/sds).
Our current activities are aimed at developing new visualizations and at connecting existing ones to results of data transformations provided by DataProgramming project and to distributed data sources from DataServices project.
