Status of Call for Votes comp.graphics.visualization 3 NO 121 YES, voting until October 26 (3 more weeks). Objection against is general negative reaction to specialization of groups. Thanks for the votes in support. From the signatures of the voters, this will be a vital group. Please mail suggestions for ordinal posts to me. There have been great sug- gestions. So far: biographies, current research, archival information (how to get copies of cool viz), glossary of viz terms (!), software review, software available from ftp, academic programs in viz., hardware sharing (who has what...), big data sources, future directions-hardware, etc... Keep 'em coming. -- Andrew Newkirk Rose '91 Department of Visualization CNSF/Theory Center 632 E & T Building, Hoy Road Ithaca, NY 14583 607 254 8686 andy@cornellf.tn.cornell.edu

The vote for comp.graphics.visualization which began October 4th has slowed to a trickle. Due to the reduced volume (110 first two days, 3 last two days) I would like to end the voting period on October 17 (next Wednesday) rather than the previously announced October 26. I have been told it is improper to report preliminary results, but I can say that if you haven't voted, vote. *** This group would serve the visualization community more specifically than comp.graphics can because of its wide scope. Please forward votes to andy@cornellf.tn.cornell.edu. If anyone has a severe objection to shortening the voting period, tell me. -- Andrew Newkirk Rose '91 Department of Visualization CNSF/Theory Center 632 E & T Building, Hoy Road Ithaca, NY 14583 607 254 8686 andy@cornellf.tn.cornell.edu

Please subscribe to comp.graphics.visualization if you are interested. This new group started to serve the needs of the visualization community. I know this is not all of you, but many of you do use high-end workstations like SGI and are doing sci viz. (virtual reality content) If the creation of massive data sets from science requires advanced interaction and visualization techniques to analyse and comprehend, can scientific data provide a practical testbed for VR techniques? Philosophically, is sci.viz a subset of VR? What techniques in VR are applicable to sci.viz. What does the global research community LOOK like? -- Andrew Newkirk Rose '91 Department of Visualization CNSF/Theory Center 632 E & T Building, Hoy Road Ithaca, NY 14583 607 254 8686 andy@cornellf.tn.cornell.edu
