 Abstract 

Scientific Data Visualization is now a major topic of discussion initiated by the NSF Workshop Report that addressed the need for improved techniques for data visualization.  In this paper we discuss how the various “classical” visualization techniques are being interpreted in current and evolving scientific visualization environments.  We emphasize the concept of visual data exploration as a particularly difficult case within the general problem of the visualization of scientific data.  We describe Exvis, a broad on-going research project at the University of Lowell, dedicated to the investigation of new and innovative technologies (hardware, software, and conceptual) for scientific data visualization and exploration and discuss some innovative presentation techniques.  Finally, we suggest future directions for visualization and perceptualization researchers.
