Workshop Materials

How to Prepare?

  • Review and download the workshop materials
  • Bring a laptop (Linux/Windows) with Avizo/Amira installed (download from here).
  • Alternatively (e.g., on Mac), you can use the IT provided remote workstations in case you do not have Avizo/Amira installed (you have to request the service the first time you use it here)

Overview

Visualization experts from the laboratory will introduce Avizo/Amira - a general-purpose commercial software application for scientific data visualization and analysis. Avizo/Amira users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D on a Desktop. Attendees will participate in hands-on sessions working with Avizo/Amira to create 3D visualizations of scientific datasets.

Who Should Attend?

The target audience for this workshop are KAUST users who are looking for a new scientific visualization solution and have little or no experience with Avizo/Amira or scientific visualization in general.
