Visualization Captures the Imagination of Physicists

L. Smarr, Computers in Physics 5, 564 (1991).

Abstract

During the four years since Computers in Physics was first published, scientific visualization has moved from being a novelty to being a routine tool of computational physics. This trend will continue, with additional capabilities coming from several emerging technologies, including sonification, high-definition technologies, and virtual reality, coupled with advanced forms of computer graphics, image processing, video, and multimedia. The result will be a “metavisualization” or “integrated sensory” environment of much greater power than is available today.
