Our three-day intensive workshop on the VIC-3D digital image correlation system came to a successful conclusion last week in Charlottesville, VA. It was an engaging and insightful experience for all involved, filled with lively discussions, practical exercises, and valuable networking opportunities. We were thrilled to see such enthusiasm and active participation from attendees representing a diverse range of industrial, governmental, and academic institutions. The level of engagement in the hands-on sessions and the thoughtful questions posed during the lectures truly highlighted the growing interest and importance of DIC techniques in modern engineering and scientific research. We are confident that the knowledge and skills gained over these three days will empower participants to effectively apply DIC in their respective fields, getting the most out of their VIC-3D system, and pushing the boundaries of deformation and strain measurement.

Visualizing Digital Image Correlation is a new series that provides a unique window into advanced features and workflows using the iris graphics workspace within digital image correlation software from Correlated Solutions. Each video provides our customers the opportunity to watch the production of an iris project - one that is featured in a corresponding promotional video or application note - at their own pace with minimal instruction. Episode 2 corresponds to the VIC-Gimbal Application Note and shows the process of producing a dynamic calibration report using text, graphics, and image sequences in the iris workspace within VIC-3D.
