Das DATARAMA
A Multimedia-Tool for Research, Teaching and PresentationFor scientists who rely on visual data or data visualizations, the limitations of monitors, multiple monitor spans or projection facilities can present serious limitations for data gathering and the analysis and presentation of findings.
