This poster describes the design methodology and results for a pan- demic
visualization tool that was developed for validating a pan- demic model. This
work is the result of a collaboration between domain scientists,
visualization scientists and a fine artist. While the primary goal of this
work is to understand and communicate how an epidemic spreads across a
country, we developed new visu- alization methods for population center
glyphs and travel networks. The visualization tool was developed using
Processing and uses ge- ographical spatiotemporal views to explore the model
dataset. The tool is interactive and easy to use. Close attention was given
to visualization design aesthetics to create visualizations that can be
easily understood by the general public.
