Science Visualization

The common understanding of modern science research gets more and more difficult as most activities are carried out in the micro- and nanometer range. The base of understanding for outsiders is visibility of these hidden phenomena. The Department of Science Visualization at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, became specialized in making invisible scientific phenomena visible. Those phenomena are outside of the limits of human perception when being too small, too big,
too fast, too slow, or outside the visible part of the electromagnetic wavelength spectrum. The developments of the Science Visualization group under the leadership of Alfred Vendl are focused on the goal to make phenomena and procedures visible, which take place in the micro- and nanometer range. With help of Light Microscope up to Confocal Mikroscope, Micro-CT (Computer Tomography), different Electron Microscopes like TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and ESEM (Environmental Scanning Electron
Microscope) in combination with new developed CGI (Computer Generated Imaging) they created visible dynamic sequences of normally invisible procedures to make these procedures understandable for a broad audience. Most of these sequences went into popular TV-productions, for which many international TV-Awards were obtained, among them an EMMY-Award 2008 for outstanding cinematography in the TV-Series “Nature Tech”.
