Visualization for insight into optical engineering
Richard N. Pfisterer · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2002
Inexpensive optical engineering software and PCs have enabled a broad range of engineers and scientists to do the work traditionally done by optical engineers. This paradigm shift has challenged software developers to devise interfaces appropriate for less experienced users. Our contention us that by making complex optical engineering tasks more visual, less qualified users would be more inclined to recognize when something was amiss.
