After being the contest co-chair for the IEEE Scientific Visualization Contest in 2014,
Dr. Bernd Hentschel is this years contest chair. Titled with "Petascale Cosmological Simulations", the contest aims at developing a visualization tool for exploring Dark Sky Simulation data.

On Thursday, October 29, 2015 Bernd Hentschel will officially announce the results at IEEE VIS 2015 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

For his exhibition at the Ludwig Forum, artist Tim Berresheim drew on the possibilities offered by RWTH's aixCAVE, an immersive virtual reality environment. His artwork "Tarnen & Täuschen III" was enliven by master student Dennis Scully (supervisors: Profs Kuhlen and Kobbelt) resulting in an intensely experience for everybody. A short insight is given by our youtube video.
