Abstract
This poster describes the design methodology and results for a pandemic
visualization tool that was developed for validating a pandemic
model. This work is the result of a collaboration between
domain scientists, visualization scientists and a fine artist. While
the primary goal of this work is to understand and communicate
how an epidemic spreads across a country, we developed new visualization
methods for population center glyphs and travel networks.
The visualization tool was developed using Processing and uses geographical
spatiotemporal views to explore the model dataset. The
tool is interactive and easy to use. Close attention was given to
visualization design aesthetics to create visualizations that can be
easily understood by the general public.
