The Research Computing group of Texas A&M at Qatar’s Information Technology Services office is hosting the Visualization Development Competition (VDC11) on 19 April. This competition is designed to use the Immersive Visualization Facility (IVF) to raise awareness of the benefits of using IVF in the academic community. The competition aids researchers and faculty in both understanding their data as well as communicating it to diverse audiences in intuitive and accessible ways.
