In the Portal Winter 2004

UCLA’s Visualization Portal and Modeling Lab support research projects on campus and are also used to present much of that research to the campus and the general public. The Portal also hosts events that bring to campus interesting people and projects related to information technology. These pages are a sampling of the projects and events that have occurred in the Portal since it opened in 2000. The following images can be enlarged by clicking on them.
