Perspectives for using virtual reality to extend visual data mining in information visualization

AeroVR: An immersive visualisation system for aerospace design and digital twinning in virtual reality

“…Information on one of the earliest examples of research into using VR for applications in the scope of aerospace design can befound in Hale (20) . García-Hernández et al (4) pointed out that the VR technology is starting to gain ground in aerospace design and listed a range of aerospace research topics in which VR already is, or can be, successfully applied. This includes, among others, spacecraft design optimisation (e.g.…”

“…While the phrase virtual reality has been used for decades, in the context of computer-aided visualisation, today it is synonymous with head-mounted displays (1) (HMDs) or headsets (2,3) . Although still in a nascent stage, HMDs have demonstrated their usefulness in the computer gaming, education, fashion and real-estate industries, with countless more application areas currently being pursued, including information visualisation in aerospace (4) . One potentially promising application is aerospace design-a complex, multi-disciplinary, multi-objective and multi-dimensional problem-where technologies that offer faster design cycle times, with potentially greater efficiency gains, can be real game-changers.…”

Exploring Aerospace Design in Virtual Reality with Dimension Reduction

“…We here present a VR aerospace design environment with a focus on dimension reduction. VR technology is starting to gain ground in aerospace design as pointed out by Garca-Hernndez et al, 4 which list a range of aerospace research topics in which VR already is, or can be, successfully applied. This includes, among others, spacecraft design optimization (e.g.…”

“…Garca-Hernndez et al 4 suggests that three elements are especially promising for a VR-based approach: 1) integration of multiple 2D graphs for 3D data; 2) 3D parallel coordinates; and 3) visualization of complex graphs. In this paper we explore the aerodynamic design space of a turbomachinery blade.…”

However, as the aerospace community usually works on state-of-the-art computational tools and sophisticated computer-aided design packages, there are tremendous hurdles in getting the community to embrace VR.…”
