We have created a workbench of java tools that enables
researchers and educators to present visual data in a
dynamic form. This was motivated by needs of
astronomy education and public outreach, but the tools
created as a part of this project can be used in any
discipline that uses images, especially images, with
which users need to be able to interact. The images
can be manipulated at a basic level (zooming, panning,
adjustment of the contrast, brightness and color of an
image).
In addition to simple interactions with an image, the tools can be configured to interact quantitatively with computing programs running on a server. This allows for the creation of easy-to-use visual, web-based interfaces to more complex quantitative analysis tasks. In educational settings, this allows an instructor to use a subset of a larger computational package in a course without the requiring the students to spend the time needed to become proficient with complicated analysis software. |
