Abstract: The Data Observatory (DO) at the Data Science Institute (DSI) in Imperial College (IC) is the largest interactive visualisation facility in Europe, consisting of 64 monitors arranged to give 313 degree surround vision and engagement Opened in November 2015, the DO provides an opportunity for academics and industry to visualise data in a way that uncovers new insights, and promotes the communication of complex data sets and analysis in an immersive and multi-dimensional environment. Designed, built by, and housed within the DSI, the DO enables decision makers to derive new implications and actions from interrogating data sets in an innovative, unique environment. The talk will provide an overview of the DO capabilities and case studies of its use.

NB: The DO software will be installed on our new screen array, and after the seminar there will be opportunity for hands on sessions to learn how to use it for data visualisation, presentations and demos. Please contact Megan Chan w.h.chan at soton.ac.uk<mailto:w.h.chan at soton.ac.uk> for more details.
