The Sculpting Visualization Collaborative is a multidisciplinary, cross-institutional team creating tools that bring artists, designers, and others outside of the sciences directly into the visualization process. Generating new methodologies through integration of the arts and the sciences, the Collaborative creates a richer, expanded vocabulary for visualization that improves domain science research, team collaboration, adn public-facing communication about important issues in climate, computing, neurology, archeology, biology, and more.

Current research directions include:

Visualization software architectures for arts, humanities, and STEM integration
AR, VR, Data Physicalization, and Touch-Based Data Querying
Immersive and interactive visualization exhibitions in alternative venues
Humanities-based evaluation methods
Team science and knowledge building using physical and/or interactive visualization
