Immersive Virtual Reality Technologies as a New Platform for Science, Scholarship, and Education

Immersive, interactive approach to visualization and exploration of highly-dimensional, complex data sets. Humans are intrinsically “optimized” to perceive information and interact with the world in 3-D.! A Novel Approach! To Numerical Simulations:! Scientists immersed into their simulations, controlling them and visualizing the results in a real time, and interacting with each other, as well as with their numerical experiments: http://manybody.org/wiki/! •! Exploration, development and promotion of VWs and VR technologies for professional research in astrophysics and related fields.!
