Computer Graphics Laboratory

Visualization - SS 21 - Course Project

Course Project

In the course project, students form groups of 3-4 people and build an interactive visualization of a real-world data set. The implementations should be based on the Visualization Tool Kit (VTK).

Download

Most data sets originate from past IEEE Scientific Visualization Contests. Note that we provide only a subset of the original data to keep the file size somewhat reasonable. Feel free to download more data from the original VisContest websites.

Topic 1: Volcanic Ash Clouds (4 GB)
Topic 2: Cosmology Simulation (6 GB)
Topic 3: Point Ensemble (11 GB)
Topic 4: Cloud Simulations (18 GB)
Topic 5: Asteroid Impacts (11 GB)
Topic 6: Vortex Street (18 GB)
Topic 7: Earth Mantle Convection (10 GB)

The downloads are restricted to computers within the ETH Network (IP = 129.132.*, 195.176.*, 10.5.*, 10.6.*).
