Visualization 2.0

What could be better than the world’s favorite smart phone?
Imagine this: an iPhone-like, touch-sensitive screen that allows users to interact with data through an almost endless array of touches and gestures and that displays information at six times the resolution of high definition on a screen about 1,500 times larger than an iPhone display.
Look no further than the Renaissance Computing Institute’s (RENCI) new engagement center at Duke University to find this state-of-the-art visualization technology. And while RENCI at Duke’s 13-foot by 5-foot multi-touch wall can’t fit neatly into a pocket, it has the potential to help researchers in science, engineering, the arts and humanities view and interact with data in ways never before possible.
