Abstracts
Using Virtual Reality to gain insights – Aris Alissandrakis

This seminar will give a brief overview of recent work (2017-now) conducted by the VRxAR Labs research group.

The evolution of our immersive analytics system that went from “simple” data exploration to supporting hybrid asymmetric collaboration will be presented.
The focus will be on the motivations and decisions that informed the direction of this research, and the methodological approaches used to make sure that the system both a) did what it was supposed to and b) was perceived favorably by its users.

Given that VR is better experienced and understood by seen in motion, anyone interested in this is encouraged to check out our video demonstrations on [https://vimeo.com/vrxar].

Cloud and HPC – Morgan Ericsson

We’ll start by discussing what HPC, Cloud computing and related terms mean. We’ll then discuss how and when you should use a cloud environment, such as CSCloud, for HPC. The talk will illustrate the important concepts using CSCloud and discuss, e.g., virtual machines and networks, containers, orchestration, etc.
