From the desktop to stereo walls to the fully immersive environments, integrated information spaces can aid scientist's discovery and communication. Interactive visual analysis enables users to apprehend non-obvious information and relationships. We focus on the adoption of supercomputing and visual analysis tools to advance science, engineering, and education by effectively delivering heterogeneous information to networked multimedia platforms.
