\chapter{Conclusion}
We saw a lot of different visualization methods, algorithm, techniques, tips and tricks during the entire course. We participated with great enthusiasm and look
back to a successful semester. \\
We also have some conclusions and recommendations about visualization and this course. \\
\section{Visualization}
When we first started this course we did'nt know what visualization was truly about. It's not about drawing nice pictures, but the entire process from getting the
measured data up until the rendering process; the entire visualization pipeline. \\
So, visualization itself is a field in which many specializations of other fields are used. Think of physics, mathematics, computer science, computer graphics and
probably many more. \\
A lot of research is still being done. The translation from 3D to 2D brings difficulties. Some information is hard to visualize in 2 and/or 3 dimensions. The bigger
glyphs get, the more they overlap. If you use blending, some details are lost but some new information may be gained. These examples are only a two of many more
tradeoffs when visualizing large datasets. \\
\section{The course}
The visualization course encourages to explore the given assignments in different directions. It is stated that visualization is much about designing creative
solutions to a given problem to gain different insights. And this turned out to be a positive approach for us to some of the assignments. \\
We say it turned out to be a positive approach to \underline{some} of the assignments. For some other problems we needed the insight of an expert. We found it very
useful to be able to mail some of the troubles we had during the implementation. \\
The two practical hours after the theoretical part were a bit to crowded for the teacher to be able to handle all questions from the students. This was a bit of a
downside. Because of this we were'nt always able to show our new results or post question during the practical hour. \\
