CEDAR email: 2024 Workshop Session: ≥3D Tools and Advanced Visualization Techniques in Geospace Science

[Aguilar Guerrero, Jaime]

Dear CEDAR Community,

We are excited to invite you to participate in the upcoming workshop on "≥3D Tools and Advanced Visualization Techniques in Geospace Science <https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2024-workshop-advanced-scientific-visualizations-and-virtual-reality>" at the CEDAR 2024 Workshop, San Diego CA. This session will be held on Tuesday, June 11th from 13:30-15:30 hrs in Westcoast room in conjunction with "Using geospace data and software in research for open science <https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2024-workshop-geospace-data-and-software-resources>".

Geospace phenomena are inherently multi-scale and multidimensional processes, whether measured or simulated. Traditionally, 2D analysis techniques have been used for the characterization and visualization of such data. However, with the advent of robust and widely available virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and spatial computing tools, a novel research paradigm presents itself to the CEDAR community. These advanced visualization tools, along with novel data expressions and formats, are most commonly used to showcase the conclusions reached by traditional 2D means. We believe it is time to explore their potential for direct and intuitive data analysis, maintaining fidelity to both temporal and spatial scales.

We seek abstract contributions related to the use of three-dimensional or higher-dimensional data in Geospace science. This includes, but is not limited to, eclipse paths, ionospheric pseudosurfaces, satellite tracking, vertical coupling, traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), and atmospheric gravity waves. Projects that already utilize advanced volumetric (or auditory) data expressions, including virtual, mixed/augmented reality, or sonification, are particularly welcome.

Recognizing the early adoption stage of these tools in geosciences, we also encourage submissions from authors who have not previously used ≥3D tools. Contributions may be submitted to the conveners in the form of 3D files (.stl, .obj, .glb, .gltf) or point clouds (.ply, .laz, or .csv with columns for X, Y, Z, and colormap). These files will be presented in virtual reality during the session using a Valve Index VR headset, an Apple Vision Pro, and smartphone/tablet-based mixed reality tools. Prospective contributors are encouraged to contact the conveners directly to coordinate their data presentations.

For questions or inquiries, please contact Kristina Collins (kvcollins at spacescience.org) or Jaime Aguilar (aguilaj9 at erau.edu).

We look forward to your participation and contributions to this exciting exploration of advanced visualization tools in geospace science.

Thank you on behalf of the conveners,

——
