What is Visual Understanding Environment?
The Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) is an open-source data visualization application developed by the Academic Technology group at Tufts University. VUE provides users with the ability to visualize, analyze, and present complex data in an easy-to-use interface.
Some key features of VUE include:
- Interactive 2D and 3D data visualization
- Support for multiple data formats including text, images, PDFs, and more
- Collaborative tools for sharing visualizations and annotations
- Customizable interface for discipline-specific workflows
- Extensible through integration with other applications
VUE removes barriers to working with complex data by providing intuitive visualization capabilities. Its flexibility makes it useful across many domains including digital humanities, geospatial analysis, biology, physics, and more. As an open-source project with an active development community, VUE continues to expand in functionality and accessibility.
