Visualization
Spatiotemporal visualizations of images, networks, and maps, visual design and user interfaces, virtual and augmented reality, as well as 3D visualizations of objects and spatial contexts.
GRIDH offers expertise in research-driven visualization of datasets to explore, analyze, and discover new contexts. Through interdisciplinary research projects, we develop advanced tools and methods for map-based spatiotemporal visualizations of structured data. In collaboration with research groups and cultural heritage institutions, we explore innovative ways to utilize agent-based simulations, machine learning, and network visualizations by developing resources and tools for data analysis and visualization.
Within the cultural heritage sector, GRIDH is prominent in documenting and making accessible threatened or lost cultural environments. This has led to collaborations with the National Heritage Board (Built Cultural Heritage in Antarctica), the Swedish History Museum (The World of the Vikings), and the Swedish Institute in Rome (Etruscan Chamber Tombs), as well as international entities such as the National Museum in Ukraine (The Inscriptions of Saint Sophia), Tecnópolis in Buenos Aires (The Nordenskjöld Expedition), and the National Museum of the Faroe Islands (Stokkastovan).
In several projects, we explore immersive technologies and methods such as Augmented Reality (Rock Art in Three Dimensions), Virtual Reality (Hemse Revisited), or digitally mediated narratives (Elfängen) to convey the physical or affective values of materials. This is made possible through the laboratory GRIDH has established in collaboration with SHFA. Furthermore, for various research and cultural heritage projects, we have developed tools like Ocean Voyager, Topography Visualization Toolbox, and the Literature Laboratory.
GRIDH contributes visualization expertise to the two national research infrastructures, Huminfra and InfraVis, where the latter serves as a resource for scientific visualization.
