« A world class European infrastructure about visualisation » ● Open access to a large research community to promote excellence of European research ● Access to virtual and material services in the field of visualisation. European program : « Advanced Digital Visualisation Facilities » Coordinateur : Frédéric Noël (Grenoble-INP) Budget : 8M€ Subvention : 6.5 M€ VISIONAIR VISIONAIR Slide 5 / 10
Ressources provided by VISIONAIR 4 main topics : Scientific visualisation Ultra-High Definition Virtual Reality Collaborative environments and a transversal service: DSW ! 29 installations spread in Europe 29 installations spread in Europe VISIONAIR VISIONAIR Slide 6
Role of the scientific board Advice and comments about our Joint Research Actions Better link with external communities – Advice about calls for projects – Advice in services to enable specific activities Major scientific points to be undertaken by VISIONAIR VISIONAIR VISIONAIR
Role of Science Policy Board - link Visionair to a set of representative institutions who can get interest into the sustainability of Visionair – National/Regional Ministeries, Industrials - get external advice to ensure sustainability of Visionair – Organizational structure – Business model – Directions VISIONAIR VISIONAIR
Last year recommendations VISIONAIR is not a data provider – It processes data coming from applicants/guests. – Available and complete processes should be highlighted • Highlight the interconnections – Image analysis technique ( Software referred in VVS) – Increase application knowledge – How to provide in-situ visualisation – Cloud computing visualization services (not adressed ) – Streaming High bandwidth networks – Heterogeneity of software ( Connection between caves) VISIONAIR VISIONAIR
Last year recommendations Promotion – Difficult to promote the various usages ( stiill an issue) • Identify contacts to relay the information • Integrating prominent institutes within the club of partners • Associate facilities with more specialized domain of usage • How to manage short team visits? – launch call on specific applications (permanent call policy was selected ) – Specialization of facilities could be a direction – Identify the target communities and corresponding services (also recommended by EC after MTR) – towards industry: how to support innovation processes and obtain interest? ( stiill an open question) • Services to industry? Sustainability – National level must contribute for investments. European should maintain the 'glue' – Focuss on the added value for end-users – We must pay attention to the maturity of technologies and investigate the life-cycle of our technologies and services • To focuss on services and advice for end-user who wants to invest within the technologies • VISIONAIR is a knowledge community VISIONAIR VISIONAIR

What was done until now Platforms preparation Define tools, applications and visualization capabilities for further access and promotion Fill E-map for promotion of TNA platforms Detailed description of TNA installations, applications and visualization facilities Assistance in application submits Platform for project submits, evaluation process. Selection process definition 3 Calls for projects and Open call Promotion and invitations Posters, roll-ups, flyers, short movies Conferences, fairs, presentations VISIONAIR
TNA models evolution Initial model – Research apply for a project – Committee review – The researcher is hosted on a physical facility Second model – Research apply for a project – Committee review – Bring the physical facility to the researcher One permanent call with a committee review every 1,5 month – VISIONAIR VISIONAIR
