Interchanging Interactive 3-d Graphics for Astronomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate how interactive, three-dimensional (3-d) scientific visualizations can be efficiently interchanged between a variety of mediums. Through the use of an appropriate interchange format, and a unified interaction interface, we minimize the effort to produce visualizations appropriate for undertaking knowledge discovery at the astronomer’s desktop, as part of conference presentations, in digital publications or as Web content. We use examples from cosmological visualization to address some of the issues of interchange, and to describe our approach to adapting s2plot desktop visualizations to the Web. Supporting Web examples are available from http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plot/interchange.

متن کاملIncorporating interactive 3-dimensional graphics in astronomy research papers
Most research data collections created or used by astronomers are intrinsically multidimensional. In contrast, all visual representations of data presented within research papers are exclusively 2-dimensional. We present a resolution of this dichotomy that uses a novel technique for embedding 3-dimensional (3-d) visualisations of astronomy data sets in electronic-format research papers. Our tec...

A radical reappraisal of the 3-D Interactive raster graphics pipeline has resulted In an experimental architecture for a workstation which is currently being evaluated at the CW!. The principal features of this architecture are that It: concentrates exclusively on real-time interactive 3-D graphics (initially for CAD). uses object space rather than Image space methods where possible. avoids usi...
متن کاملDesign and Development of 3-D Urban Geographical Information Retrieval Application Employing Only Open Source Instruments
Numerous 3-D GIS are being developed today that are both commercially and freely available. A multicity web-based 3-D GIS (named as GLC3d) using open source and freely available software/packages exclusively has been developed. This paper presents the architecture, design, and overview of GLC3d. Open source tools and software’s QGIS, Cesium, and MySQL are employed to develop this application. Q...
متن کاملA Survey of Advanced Interactive 3-D Graphics Techniques
Interactive 3-D Graphics are a new emerging field enabled by powerful and cost-effective computer systems. The goal is to present a three-dimensional image of a scene stored in a computer to give a human user the impression that he or she is looking at a virtual world. In producing such an illusion, we would like to always be able to produce images that match or exceed the limits of human visua...
