    Extending Access for Computational Text Analysis to Protected Data in a Large Scale Digital Library
    (2018-11) Charitha, Dandeniya Arachchige; Yu, Ma; Eleanor, Dickson; Samitha, Liyanage
    The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is developing infrastructure to support computational text analysis of the large scale HathiTrust Digital Library. The HTRC’s platform allows researchers to perform text analysis using both point-and-click tools and self-guided workflows in a secure computing environment. This talk will describe the development of the HTRC Analytics gateway (www.analytics.hathitrust.org) and improvements that extend the analytic capabilities of the system to include protected data.

    Augmented & Virtual Reality
    (2018-09-28) Frend, Chauncey
    Augmented reality is an exciting field that blends the real world with a virtual and synthetic world. The most popular devices supporting augmented reality include mobile phones (think Pokemon GO!) or headsets such as the Microsoft Hololens. In this session, staff from the UITS Advanced Visualization Lab discuss the latest technologies and share examples of projects and workflows that will help you begin using augmented reality. Virtual reality involves the use of 3D graphics and advanced interactions to immerse a real-world user in a simulated environment. Recent innovations such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Gear VR, and Google Cardboard have disrupted the virtual reality sector. Come learn about virtual reality opportunities here at IU in the reality labs, courses, and summer camps, and how you can make best use of these new technologies.

    3D Digitization for Research, Education, and Creativity
    (2018-09-28) Gniady, Tassie; Rogers, Jeff
    3D printing is one of the hottest sectors in technology. It enables users to fabricate personal and scientific objects like never before. But before fabricating, users must create a 3D model built digitally using 3D CAD or acquired from the real world using 3D scanning, photogrammetry or drones. We have been working with 3D models and supporting advanced research in this area for more than a decade-- well before 3D printers were mainstream. This session will detail the equipment and workflows available to the IU community to enable 3D scanning and printing. In this session we will explore photogrammetry as it relates to the creation of 3D models of real world objects.

    Omeka S and 3D Collections
    (2018-04-27) Gniady, Tassie; Cowan, Will
    Omeka S is a next-generation web publishing platform for institutions interested in connecting digital cultural heritage collections with other resources online. It allows for open linked data and for many sites to live under one installation. In this talk, we will explain the extended capabilities of Omeka S and take a tour of example sites populated with 3D models.

    IQ-Tables and Touch-Enabled Software Workflows
    (2018-04-13) Reagan, David
    Interactive multi-touch devices and applications are nearly ubiquitous. We have mobile phones and routinely use touch-enabled digital signs, kiosks and web pages. In this session, we will discuss the open and freely available software that has enabled dozens of touch-enabled visualization projects and interactive exhibits here at IU.

    3D Photogrammetry
    (2018-04-06) Gniady, Tassie
    In this session we will explore photogrammetry as it relates to the creation of 3D models of real world objects. Using many pictures taken from all around an object, photogrammetry software stitches them into a 3D surface. This introductory workshop will introduce the basics of good photography used in photogrammetric capture and stitching.

    Network Graphs
    (2018-03-30) Kloster, David
    Network graphs are amazingly useful for visualizing connections between interdependent items. Using both pen and paper and Cytoscape, this session will introduce the concept of network graphs, step through the process of building an analog network, and then explain how to use Cytoscape to make your network digital.

    Advanced Media
    (2018-03-02) Eller, Chris
    IU has a broad history of working with a variety of media. In this session, we’ll look at two cutting-edge technologies: 360 and stereoscopic media. We’re seeing new 360 images and videos on our mobile phones and in virtual reality devices on a daily basis. While capturing and processing stereoscopic media is certainly not a new concept, the accessibility of stereoscopic 3D cameras and playback mechanisms, likely including your personal TV, has brought new attention to this wonderful form of expression. Join us in this session for a look at the challenges and opportunities afforded by these forms of advanced media and learn how you can create richer experiences.

    R for Twitter
    (2018-02-23) Gniady, Tassie
    This session will focus on using the twittR package for R to scrape tweets. Then we will create a wordcloud of most commonly used terms and a sentiment graph mining opinions of the tweets.
