| Fast expeditions | Aerospace | A type of "scientific expedition": a 3D, interactive exploration through scientific data with "what-if" capabilities. Instead of sending data as pixels to a movie player, data is sent in the form that can be analyzed by sophisticated analysis tools running on the recipient's computer. 3-D data interactive is a new medium for the Web. It allows much more information to be conveyed with much smaller files than movies. The users download scientific data files, then use a visualization program such as FAST to view the data. Pre-written scripts can be used for a guided tour of the data, or the users can explore the data on their own. (references) | |
