The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced obstacles to many areas of astronomical research, especially topics requiring access to shared facilities and driven by interaction between scientists to interpret complex multi-dimensional data. A research team at Purdue University will accelerate production of the Virtual Reality (VR) data visualization platform Collaborative Astronomy VR, which leverages recent advancements in high-powered consumer hardware and cloud-based multi-user server architecture. Building this platform will globally connect individuals isolated by COVID-19 restrictions and provide virtual environments where they can actively engage with complex data and representations. The distributed application will be tailored for immersive visualization of supernova explosions and other topics in astronomy, but will have flexibility for potential use in other fields requiring visualization and interaction with 3D data environments. The work will contribute to a graduate student thesis and provide opportunities for undergraduate students, who will actively help develop and showcase the technology. A small instructional lab for physics and astronomy classes will also be created.The platform will be appropriate to visualize, explore, and collaborate with data made from observations and simulations of astronomical objects and phenomena. The flexible data ingestion pipeline will support multi-dimensional formats common to astronomical data, and will have clean up and optimization procedures to ensure data fidelity and fluid visualizations. This project fulfills the urgent need for scientists to navigate complex, multi-dimensional data collaboratively with distant individuals via scalable multiuser connectivity and broad platform compatibility. Collaborative Astronomy VR enables rapid and intuitive exploration of multidimensional data with on-the-fly scaling, rotation, and changing of perspective among many participants connected online simultaneously.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

COVID-19大流行对天文学研究的许多领域介绍了障碍，尤其是需要访问共享设施的主题，并由科学家之间的相互作用驱动，以解释复杂的多维数据。普渡大学的研究团队将加速虚拟现实（VR）数据可视化平台协作天文学VR的生产，该平台合作VR，该平台利用了高功率消费者硬件和基于云的多用户架构的最新进步。构建此平台将在全球范围内连接由COVID-19限制隔离的个人，并提供虚拟环境，可以在其中积极参与复杂的数据和表示形式。分布式应用程序将针对超新星爆炸和天文学的其他主题的身临其境的可视化量身定制，但在需要可视化和与3D数据环境相互作用的其他领域具有灵活性。这项工作将为研究生论文做出贡献，并为本科生提供机会，他们将积极帮助开发和展示这项技术。还将创建一个针对物理和天文学类的小型教学实验室。该平台将适合于可视化，探索和合作与从观测和模拟天文对象和现象的数据合作。灵活的数据摄入管道将支持天文数据常见的多维格式，并具有清理和优化程序，以确保数据保真度和流体可视化。 该项目满足了科学家的迫切需求，可以通过可扩展的多源连接性和广泛的平台兼容性与遥远的个体进行复杂的多维数据进行浏览。协作天文学VR VR可以通过在线连接的许多参与者在线缩放，旋转，旋转和观点改变多维数据的快速，直观的探索。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过该基金会的知识功能和广泛的影响来评估Criteria的智力优点和广泛影响。
