TaggerVR: Interactive Data Analytics for Geoscience - A Novel Interface for Interactive Visual Analytics of Large Geoscientific Datasets in Cloud Repositories

摘要

TaggerVR' is a work-in-progress immersive VR implementation of the 'Tagger' interactive software tool designed to visualize, characterize, sample and tag geoscientific datasets hosted in local and cloud-based repositories via a THREDDS Data Server and OPeNDAP. TaggerVR implements a VR GUI using Human Interface Devices (HID), providing data to the user via an animated interface. This enables interesting features that would otherwise be lost in large datasets to be 'Tagged' for subsequent analysis. A key novel enabler is the link between scientific data formats and the high-performance interactive graphics.
