History

The Brussels meeting [November, 1994] Highlighted an artisan state And hankered for an engineering state

IST-05 and its other incarnations were successful

They have stayed with developments in visualization

Indeed we have always stayed ahead of the “Art” But… !

Friends, the outlook is pretty

bleak; the climate is changing;

the mammals are taking over;

there is a meteor shower on the

way; and we’ve all got a brain

the size of a walnut . . .

After “The Far Side” with apologies to Larson

The Present

Technology is changing rapidly Users’ [humans’] expectations of

techniques are also changing rapidly And we’ve all got brains the size of a

coconut…

The Challenge

We study the present to forecast developments.

We want to stay one revolution [or more] ahead of visualization usage

I see this Workshop as helping us to do this

by suggesting ways ahead for the art & science

Can we engineer?

Tools and techniques are speedy Can get a new display almost as you

describe it. Finished, ‘commercial’

Ergo engineering--if it exists--will not be simple parametric study

What, then?
