After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand advanced theoretical concepts of visualization. Furthermore, students are able to implement programming tasks resulting from a scientific article.
The VU Visualization 2 consists of a lecture part and an exercise part.
The lecture part consists of a series of lectures which take place throughout the semester. Lectures take place Thursdays 9:00 a.m. (c.t.). In the lectures advanced special topics are treated, such as visualization of text data or spatio-temporal data, immersive analytics, or visualization of large networks.
The exercise part consists of the implementation of a state-of-the-art visualization technique based on a scientific article. The exercise is ideally implemented in groups of two. Choose from a list of given scientific articles in TUWEL or propose your own paper. There are no requirements regarding programming languages. The lab is supported by a tutor.
The grade for Visualization 2 will be based on the combination of the practical work and the theoretical knowledge. The exact score for the grading results as follows:
- the 1st presentation of the article incl. implementation idea (10 points)
- the implementation and documentation (40 points)
- implementation of method presented in the paper (15 points)
- functionality (15 points)
- usability (5 points)
- documentation (5 points)
- the 2nd presentation of the program (10 points)
- the oral lecture exam (40 points)
For a positive grade, both lecture and exercise must be completed positively!
The schedule, zoom links, recordings, lecture notes, exercise notes and handouts, and exercise forums are located in TUWEL.
