We report on an exploratory project aimed at performing immersive 3D visualization of astronomical data, starting with spectral-line radio data cubes from galaxies. This work is done as a collaboration between the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba. We are building our prototype using the 3D engine Unity, because of its ease of use for integration with advanced displays such as a CAVE environment, a zSpace tabletop, or…

TLDR
The 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, to visualise all-sky catalogues on a user-centred, virtual celestial sphere.
Voxel Datacubes for 3D Visualization in Blender
TLDR
This work shows how to use the open source software Blender as a 3D visualization tool to study and visualize numerical simulation results, focusing on astrophysical hydrodynamic experiments.
Real-time colouring and filtering with graphics shaders
TLDR
It is demonstrated how transfer functions and graphics shaders can be exploited to provide new astronomy-specific explorative colouring methods by utilising the parallelism of modern GPUs along with a shading language, letting astronomers apply these new techniques at interactive frame rates.

Holding the Cosmos in Your Hand: Developing 3D Modeling and Printing Pipelines for Communications and Research
TLDR
3D modeling in astrophysics, astronomy, and planetary science is reviewed, before discussing 3D printed astrophysical and planetary geophysical data sets and their current and potential applications with non-expert audiences.
The Fabric of the Universe: Exploring the cosmic web in 3D prints and woven textiles
TLDR
A pipeline for translating three-dimensional density structures from N-body simulations into solid surfaces suitable for 3D printing is described, and prints of a cosmological volume and of the infall region around a massive cluster halo are presented.
Visualizing Three-dimensional Volumetric Data with an Arbitrary Coordinate System
TLDR
A method using standard techniques from computer graphics that avoids problems with 3D data in arbitrary coordinate systems and is suitable for both realtime, interactive content and producing fixed rendered images and videos is demonstrated.

Sports stars: analyzing the performance of astronomers at visualization-based discovery
TLDR
This work investigates whether the SportsCode performance analysis software can be used to understand and document how an experienced HI astronomer makes discoveries in spectral data cubes, and finds that the process of timeline-based coding can be applied to spectral cube data by mapping spectral channels to frames within a movie.
Game-Like 3D Visualisation of Air Quality Data
TLDR
CityOnStats is presented, a visualisation tool developed to provide users with a game-like 3D environment populated with air quality sensing data, as an alternative to the traditionally passive visualisation techniques.

Acceleration techniques for GPU-based volume rendering
TLDR
This paper describes volume ray-casting on programmable graphics hardware as an alternative to object-order approaches, and exploits the early z-test to terminate fragment processing once sufficient opacity has been accumulated, and to skip empty space along the rays of sight.
The Ultimate Display
Astronomical images and datasets are increasingly high-resolution and multi-dimensional. The vast majority of astronomers perform all of their visualisation and analysis tasks on low-resolution,…
