Advanced collaborative systems in robust demand as revolutionary learning and cooperative tools despite downturn.Summary: Seminar at state-of-the-art Cyviz Technology Center in Dubai highlights application of visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all technologies across various industries and academic environments Cyviz, a leading developer of premium display walls for collaborative environments, emphasised on the advantages of integrating collaborative technologies within the academic field and highlighted its steady demand from the educational and industrial fields despite the economic downturn, during a seminar titled 'Borderless Collaborative Education' that was held recently at the state-of-the-art Cyviz Technology Center (CTC CTC - Cornell Theory Center ) in Dubai, which is one of four such centers in the world.

Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. . Studies prove that visually-assisted learning improves student performance in terms of retention, comprehension and organisation. The free Cyviz seminar discussed advanced technology-enabled collaborative techniques used by industry and how they can be applied to the academic setting. It also examined high performance three-dimensional (3D) visualization systems for data visualisation (graphics) visualisation - Making a visible presentation of numerical data, particularly a graphical one. This might include anything from a simple X-Y graph of one dependent variable against one independent variable to a virtual reality which allows you to fly around the data. , engineering simulation, and materials analysis.
