VAiRoma: A Visual Analytics System for Making Sense of Places, Times, and Events in Roman History
10.1109/TVCG.2015.2467971
Learning and gaining knowledge of Roman history is an area of interest for students and citizens at large. This is an example of a subject with great sweep (with many interrelated sub-topics over, in this case, a 3,000 year history) that is hard to grasp by any individual and, in its full detail, is not available as a ...

NeuroBlocks - Visual Tracking of Segmentation and Proofreading for Large Connectomics Projects
10.1109/TVCG.2015.2467441
In the field of connectomics, neuroscientists acquire electron microscopy volumes at nanometer resolution in order to reconstruct a detailed wiring diagram of the neurons in the brain. The resulting image volumes, which often are hundreds of terabytes in size, need to be segmented to identify cell boundaries, synapses,...
