全天空数据的沉浸式虚拟现实体验
Immersive Virtual Reality Experiences for All-Sky Data
摘要:
球面坐标系在天文学中是普遍存在的,在平面二维表面上不能不失真地显示。这对视觉探索的两个互补阶段提出了挑战-通过寻找关系、模式或异常现象在数据中有所发现-和出版-在出版中,探索的结果可供科学审查或交流。这是一个长期存在的问题,已经开发了许多实用的解决方案。我们的allskyVR方法为商用虚拟现实头戴式显示器的实验提供了一个工作流程。使用免费的开源S2PLOT编程库和基于浏览器的A-Frame WebVR框架,我们提供了一种简单的方法来可视化以用户为中心的虚拟天球上的全天星表。allskyVR发行版包含一个快速启动选项,包括一个基于凝视的菜单系统,以及一个完全可定制的模式,供那些需要更多控制沉浸式体验的人使用。该软件可从以下网址下载:www.example.com
英文摘要:
Spherical coordinate systems, which are ubiquitous in astronomy, cannot be shown without distortion on flat, two-dimensional surfaces. This poses challenges for the two complementary phases of visual exploration -- making discoveries in data by looking for relationships, patterns or anomalies -- and publication -- where the results of an exploration are made available for scientific scrutiny or communication. This is a long-standing problem, and many practical solutions have been developed. Our allskyVR approach provides a workflow for experimentation with commodity virtual reality head-mounted displays. Using the free, open source S2PLOT programming library, and the A-Frame WebVR browser-based framework, we provide a straightforward way to visualise all-sky catalogues on a user-centred, virtual celestial sphere. The allskyVR distribution contains both a quickstart option, complete with a gaze-based menu system, and a fully customisable mode for those who need more control of the immersive experience.
