The visualization scientists from Stuttgart presented their work " Visual Analysis of Structure Formation in Cosmic Evolution ". VISUS researchers were able to win the IEEE SciVis Contest for the third time with their work on MegaMol (2012, 2016 and 2019). About the VISUS submission - . In their submission, the researchers from VISUS analyze the generation of structure in the cosmic evolution of the universe over the last 5 million years. Starting point is a direct visualization of multivariate data to get an overview and subsequently investigate the impact of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) using various visualization techniques. For instance, an adapted filament detection method was introduced to allow detailed analysis of particle flow near filaments.
