Creative Collaborative Exploration in Multiple Environments

We seek to support creativity in science, engineering, and design applications by building infrastructure that offers new capabilities for creative collaborative exploration of complex data in a variety of non-traditional computing environments. We describe particular novel environments and devices, including the Allosphere and the interactive Fogscreen, the software components to support collaborative interaction in mixed-media environments, and several key application scenarios that will leverage these capabilities. Our main focus is on supporting integrated visualization, sonification, and interaction capabilities in and across novel computing environments.
