Volumetric Data Visualization and Analysis

Rasmi 9 years ago updated by agoodman 9 years ago 1

Take a library like yt and create an interface to datasets (easier than a folder structure, ideally). Take those datasets and create 3D visualizations of the simulations for quick analysis. Support basic transformations to the data with voice commands and precomputed analyses — “Log-scale this data” “Skip to redshift 0.5” “Highlight dark matter halos” “Show only gas” “Apply ____ filter”


This would basically be a dumb interface to a more powerful computer doing the computation. An ideal balance would need to be found between speed (pre-computing potential analyses) and resource use (doing things on-the-fly only as they’re needed). Maybe this can be done by computing popular analyses for a certain scientific domain or datatype. Regardless, being able to get a quick AR visualization and analysis of a simulated galaxy or universe would be fantastic for easily getting a sense of the data.

Thanks Rasmi--Penny, Tom & I are working toward something just like this. We'll post updates here.
