INVOLV is a project at the Scientists' Discovery Room (SDR), a next-generation visual digital laboratory for scientific discovery, collaborative learning, and education. The research in SDR focuses on experimenting with new modalities of human-computer interaction and visualization, to create a new genre of navigation, exploration, and detailed analyses in multi-dimensional information spaces. All projects in SDR are in close collaboration with domain scientists and educators. SDR is part of the Initiative in Innovative Computing (IIC) and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at Harvard University.
