Scientific Visualization

Simulation in HLRS's CAVE

This course is targeted at researchers with basic knowledge in numerical simulation, who would like to learn how to visualize their simulation results on the desktop but also in Augmented Reality and Virtual Environments. The two-day workshop gives a short overview over scientific visualization in general, followed by a hands-on introduction to 3D desktop visualization with VISTLE (webpage on the EXCELLERAT service portal) and COVISE. Participants will further learn how to build interactive 3D Models for Virtual Environments and how to set up an Augmented Reality visualization.

On-site course & COVID rules

Besides the content of the training itself, another important aspect of this event is the scientific exchange among the participants. We try to facilitate such communication by

  • offering common coffee and lunch breaks and
  • working together in groups of two during the exercises (if desired by the individual participants and permitted by the COVID-19 rules).

For your safety, we will only allow fully vaccinated or fully recovered or COVID-19 negative tested participants on all days. You must wear a medical face mask or FFP2 mask everywhere on site. If a distance of 1.5 m cannot be guaranteed inside, e.g., if you are working in pairs in exercises, it must be an FFP2 mask. Details can be found on the registration page.

We strongly recommend to choose travel options and hotels with the possibility to cancel (even close to the event) because we might be forced to deliver the course as an online course.

Registration information

Register via the button at the top of this page (will be available soon).

Registration closes on September 12, 2022 (extended registration phase).

Late registrations after that date are still possible according to the course capacity, possibly with reduced quality of service.

Fees

Students without Diploma/Master: none.
Members of German universities and public research institutes: none.
Members of other universities and public research institutes: 120 EUR.
Others: 400 EUR.

Our course fee includes coffee breaks (in classroom courses only).

Lunch Breaks

A nearby canteen is opened and we plan to have lunch there. Further two other near possibilities for lunch are on all days:

We will update this information if opening times etc. change and inform you more precisely before the course starts.
