About the Contest¶
The IEEE SciVis Contest is an annual event that challenges participants to apply state-of-the-art visualization techniques to real-world scientific datasets. The 2026 contest features new datasets and tasks designed to push the boundaries of scientific visualization and data analysis. The best submission will win a cash prize of $1000.
Using the NSDF-OpenVISUS Cookbook¶
Participants are encouraged to use the NSDF-OpenVISUS Cookbook as a practical guide for:
Data Access: Learn how to efficiently access and manage large scientific datasets using hierarchical Z-order storage and OpenVISUS tools.
Visualization Workflows: Explore example workflows for atmospheric and ocean datasets, including multi-resolution visualization and interactive analysis.
Testing and Validation: Follow best practices for testing your visualization approaches and validating results using the provided templates and utilities.
The cookbook provides step-by-step instructions, code snippets, and explanations to help you get started quickly and make the most of the contest datasets.
