===Team Idea 20: Astronomical Visualizations | |||
WHAT: Develop a web application to create scientific visualizations from large astronomical datasets. A great test for the gigabit connection will be to transfer these data over the wire. Once accessible by the client, the browser will be used to render high dynamic range images, and interactive 1D, 2D, and 3D plots. This application is geared towards astronomers, who will use it to develop visualizations, which are typically more time consuming to create, with the added benefit of interactivity. | |||
WHO/suggested: Amit Kapadia (Adler Planetarium / Zooniverse) | |||
DISCUSSION: Many pieces of this project have been solved, e.g. rendering astronomical images in browser. These pieces have not yet been composed into a web application, mostly because it requires very high bandwidth to operate well. This project is ripe for a weekend hack, since these solved components will be connected into a cohesive application. | |||
