Computer Interface to Human Abilities of Vision and Perception

Nova Management will demonstrate innovation by applying state of the art technology to interface computers to the human abilities of vision and perception. The demonstration, made possible through special arrangements with Kubota Pacific, will integrate interactive visualization and manipulation of science data and models to display complex multidimensional, multivariate data types. Demonstration of scientific visualization as an investigative paradigm that can be applied to a wide variety of problems is the objective of the Phase I effort. The integrated demonstration for this exploratory development project will feature application of visualization technology to the problems of remote sensing and multi-spectral imagery display, spatial data management and geographic information systems, joint surveillance data fusion, military operations animation, and three dimensional modeling of virtual terrestial environments. Nova Management achieves these innovations via a rapid development methodology and by leveraging on the Kubota hardware and software functionality. This technology combines graphic methods in new ways for clearer visualization, visualization of more data at a time, visualization of more independent and dependent variables, visualization on the "fly". In short, this technology guarantees implementation of all Phase I demonstrations and offers scaleable solutions to a wide variety of Phase II system options.
