VISUALISATION

Due to the advances in communication bandwidth, network availability and processor speed, more and more data is being collected and made available. Scientists and business professionals need better means to understand, assimilate and communicate the information contained in this data. Visualisation has become an increasingly important tool for this task.

ISA Technologies, in conjunction with Jumbo Vision, have installed a Visualisation Laboratory and Executive Briefing Centre based at ISA Technologies Perth office. The Visualisation Laboratory provides a state of the art, fully immersive, 3 dimensional scientific modelling and visualisation environment.

ISA Technologies Visualisation Laboratory is an ideal facility for organisations that have highly intensive data processing and data display requirements. Some of the key industries that can significantly benefit from advanced visualisation services include:
  • Defence – simulation and modelling
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (Design, Manufacturing & Environment)
  • Education and Training
  • Environmental modelling including sediment transport models, pollution, etc
  • Exploration Geophysics (hydrocarbons and minerals) – using geophysical surveys to locate oil & gas, and mineral deposits and determining their extent eg: seismic processing, reservoir modelling
  • Health and Bioinformatics
  • Maritime Construction (digital design & manufacturing; CFD for ship hydrodynamics and load prediction for off shore platforms)
  • Digital media and content (image processing and recognition)
  • Production and manufacturing

Visualisation Research

ISA Technologies also conducts testing, benchmarking and research to constantly evolve these services. ISA Technologies is currently using the Visualisation Laboratory to test IBM’s Deep Computing Visualisation (DCV) in a commercial environment. This involves visualisation in the laboratory using SVN as well as Remote Visual Networking (RVN). RVN can be used to offer remote visualisation whereby customers using “thin technology” can leverage the visualisation cluster and specialist graphics hardware on-demand from a remote location.
