| Abstract: |
With the advent of the SKA and other petabyte-scale data facilities, both the data storage and the data interrogation represent two new challenges facing the scientific community. The recently inaugurated Iziko Planetarium 8K Digital Dome and the Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy (IDIA) Visualization Lab are two linked, cutting-edge research facilities in Cape Town that are exploring new approaches to handle the exploration and detailed interrogation of large astronomical (and multi-disciplinary) data sets. These include development of a server-client visualization tool, the development of Virtual Reality software to explore large 3D data-sets, and the exploitation of the Planetarium 3D immersive projection to visualize big data-sets in the context of the DataToDome initiative. |
