AGOCG Review of Visualization systems

Overview

One of the responsibilities of the UK Advisory Group on Computer Graphics (AGOCG) is to stimulate and support the effective use of computer based visualization.

AGOCG therefore requested the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils and the Universities of Leeds and Manchester and Natural Environment Research Council Computing Services (Keyworth) to conduct a review of visualization software, to help potential and actual users make effective choices.

The purpose of the work is therefore to review the current market for visualization software as it exists in the UK and to provide information to the UK Academic community for its visualization needs.

The following systems were reviewed (listed in alphabetical order):

The people involved with the review have produced a report containing information on all the above systems.
