Vizualization
Here at IGPP we create various visualizations; posters, earthquake scene files, models, and movies.
Using Interactive Visualization Systems(IVS) 3D, we are able to create scene files that are
geometrically correct and display epicenters for earthquakes, visuals of hurricanes, or locations
of sensors. At IGPP, we also render models of sensors using the powerful 3D rendering application
Maya.
