[Ieee_vis] Last Call: Ocean Visualization at OSM2022 in Honolulu, Hawaii

[Drew Stevens]

Colleagues,

The abstract deadline is quickly approaching for the Ocean Visualization 
session at OSM 2022! Please see below for more info. We look forward to 
your submissions!

===============================================

Aloha,

The Data Visualization Research Lab at the Center for Coastal and Ocean 
Mapping is convening a scientific session on visualization at the 2022 
Ocean Sciences Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, from February 27-March 2, 
2022. We invite and encourage abstract submissions from any area of the 
visualization spectrum. If you have used visualization to analyze or 
convey your ocean data, we want to hear about it! Please read the full 
session description below. Abstracts will be accepted through September 
29 at 23:59 EDT. We hope to see you at OSM 2022 in Hawaii!

*OD09 Ocean Visualization: Extracting insight, interactive analysis, 
exploration, and outreach 
<https://www.aslo.org/osm2022/abstract-guidelines/>*

Scientific visualization has applications across all coastal and ocean 
sciences. From simple infographics that explain scientific findings to 
the public, to interactive virtual reality applications used to perform 
complex analysis on 4D ocean simulations, visualization helps transform 
our data into information.

Visualizations captivate and engage audiences, and effectively 
communicate the impact and importance of ocean sciences. The increasing 
abilities of web browsers have improved accessibility by making it 
possible to deliver interactive 2D and 3D visualizations to the public 
without requiring them to install specialized (and often expensive) 
software, or download massive datasets.

Interactive 3D technologies, such as virtual reality and augmented 
reality, have also become more accessible, with mass production reducing 
their cost significantly over the last few years. VR and AR devices have 
great potential for ocean science researchers and their outreach 
efforts: The combination of true, stereoscopic 3D viewing and 
six-degree-of-freedom handheld interaction devices provides a powerful 
interface for conducting analyses on inherently 3D data. Furthermore, 
the immersive nature of VR makes it possible for anyone to experience 
the wonders of the underwater world, without the great expense and 
training required to do so in real life.

Please submit and share with us the visualizations that you have created 
to analyze ocean data and to present your research findings to the 
public. We welcome contributions across the entire range of 
visualization: infographics, interactive applications, immersive 
experiences, websites, videos, etc.

_Session Format:_ In-person, Standard Oral; 12-minute talks with 3 
minutes for Q&A.

The deadline for abstracts is *September 29 @ 23:59 EDT*.
