虚拟现实和沉浸式协作环境：大数据可视化的新前沿
Virtual Reality and Immersive Collaborative Environments: the New Frontier for Big Data Visualisation
摘要：
位于开普敦大学的IDIA可视化实验室正在探索使用虚拟现实技术来可视化和分析天文数据。目前正在开发的iDaVIE软件套件可以从体积数据立方体和稀疏多维目录中读取数据，并将其呈现在一个房间级的沉浸式环境中，允许用户直观地查看，导航并与三维特征进行交互。本文将重点介绍该软件如何从常见的天文数据格式导入并处理信息以加载到Unity游戏引擎中。它还将描述用户当前可用的工具以及为无缝使用而进行的各种性能优化。天文学家的应用程序将被审查，除了我们计划在未来的版本中包括的功能。
英文摘要：
The IDIA Visualisation Laboratory based at the University of Cape Town is exploring the use of virtual reality technology to visualise and analyse astronomical data. The iDaVIE software suite currently under development reads from both volumetric data cubes and sparse multi-dimensional catalogs, rendering them in a room-scale immersive environment that allows the user to intuitively view, navigate around and interact with features in three dimensions. This paper will highlight how the software imports from common astronomy data formats and processes the information for loading into the Unity game engine. It will also describe what tools are currently available to the user and the various performance optimisations made for seamless use. Applications by astronomers will be reviewed in addition to the features we plan to include in future releases.
