    Objectives
    This course promotes interaction between business and computer graphics developers by demonstrating the need for structure and consistency in business computer graphics. Attendees develop an understanding of how advanced visualization techniques make it possible to see a complete data context of the business environment, and develop an understanding of the limitation of advanced multimedia techniques in business applications.

    Description
    Standardization of output for special purposes, such as complex business data presentations, is as critical to the development of visualization as was standardization of computer compatibility. This course examines the emerging roles of advanced visualization techniques in the present and future business environment, in particular how virtual worlds and high-performance graphics can be utilized to visualize and understand financial data. Techniques discussed include virtual worlds, parallel coordinates, interactive 3D graphics, multimedia presentations, and a financial graphic alphabet.
