Collaborative Research: Development, Testing and Implementation of Digital Imaging Techniques for Enhanced Learning Applications in HD, 3D and Dome Theater Immersive Environments

这是一个由伍兹霍尔海洋研究所（WHOI）高级成像和可视化实验室的PI和明尼苏达科学博物馆（SMM）领导的合作规划项目。 这项工作将开发和测试几种新的技术方法，由WHOI工作人员获取水下和陆地科学图像材料，并将其应用于研究界和非正规教育界的数字投影影院的需求，特别是高清，3D和数字天文馆环境。 计划的努力是为了投入到最终生产的显示由SMM和新的明尼苏达天文馆，然后到类似的剧院在全国各地。

This is a collaborative planning project led by PIs at the Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM). The work will develop and test several new technical methods both of acquiring underwater and terrestrial scientific image material by WHOI staff and of applying it to the needs of the research community and of digital projection theaters in the informal education world, specifically to HD, 3D, and digital planetarium environments. The planning efforts are intended to feed into the eventual production of shows by SMM and by the new Minnesota Planetarium, and then to similar theaters around the country.
