+===Data visualization in Skydive===
+**Supervisor: Jarek Gryz**
+Skydive is a prototype system designed for database visualization using a concept of the socalled
+data pyramid. The system is composed of three modules (DB - Database Module, D2I -
+Data-to-Image module, and VC - Visualizaton Client). Each is designed to use a different type
+of computer memory. The DB module uses disk to store and manage the raw data, and materialized
+data pyramids. The D2I module works with a small subset of the aggregated dataset,
+and stores data in main memory (RAM). The VC module uses the graphic card’s capabilities to
+perform more advanced operations – such as zooming, scaling, panning, and rotation – over the
+graphical representation of the data.
+Currently the system support three presentation models implemented within the Visualization
+Component, namely:
+• a 2D heat-map;
+• a 2.5 D heat-map by 3D barchart; and
+• a 2.5 D terrain (by mesh and UV-mapping).
+The goal of the project is to implement two additional ways of data visualization as well as
+extend some of existing ones, that is:
+. Implement and test functions for data pyramid-based visualization of time series.
+. Implement functions for visualization based on cross-product of data pyramids.
+. Add support for specular and normal maps for 2.5 D terrain presentation model.
+Background Requirements
+• Java programming course
