Abstract

Despite the large budgets spent annually on astronomical research equipment such as telescopes, instruments, and supercomputers, the general trend is to analyze and view the resulting datasets using small, two-dimensional displays. We report here on alternative advanced image displays, with an emphasis on displays that we have constructed, including stereoscopic projection, multiple projector tiled displays, and a digital dome. These displays can provide astronomers with new ways of exploring the terabyte and petabyte datasets that are now regularly being produced from all-sky surveys, high-resolution computer simulations, and Virtual Observatory projects. We also present a summary of the Advanced Image Displays for Astronomy (AIDA) survey which we conducted from 2005 March–May, in order to raise some issues pertinent to the current and future level of use of advanced image displays.

Keywords: methods: data analysis


Acknowledgments

This research has been funded by a Swinburne Researcher Development Grant. We would like to thank David Barnes and Evan Hallein for their valuable contributions, Glen Moore from the Wollongong Science Centre and Charles Treleaven from Cosmodome Australasia for access to their domes (fixed and portable), and Roberto Calati for his assistance with implementing edge-blending. We are appreciative to all of the respondents to the AIDA survey. We thank the anonymous referee for very useful comments that modified the direction of this paper.

1 For example improved polygon drawing rates and onboard memory on graphics cards.

2 For example significant reductions in cost, increasing brightness, resolution and dynamic range, and broad product availability.

3 The favoured XGA resolution is partly controlled by the growing home theatre market, as this is most compatible with the PAL, NTSC, and High Definition television standards. At the time of writing, advances in digital cinema are leading to projectors with resolutions of 4096 × 2160 pixels, but at very high cost.

4 In our initial testing, we found that the preferred 128-pixel overlap was not sufficient. Powers of two in overlap size are not critical, but they simplify the programming model using OpenGL textures.

5 Consider the Mercator projection common for maps of the Earth. This mapping of the spherical Earth to a 2D surface does not preserve area, so that polar countries like Greenland appear highly distorted.

6 For example, Evans & Sutherland, Konica Minolta, Silicon Graphics, Sky-Skan, and Spitz.

7 Note that this is the size of square dome frames — the actual projected area is a maximally inscribed circle, so that ≈21.5% of pixels are unused.

9 We have performed some initial experiments with various metallic paints to create a low-cost polarization-preserving surface. Although the image gain is lower, and cross-talk is higher than for commercial screens, a 3D image is visible.

11 The construction of the Virtual Room at the Melbourne Museum was funded by a Victorian State Government through the Science & Technology Initiative (STI) grant scheme. It represents a collaboration between Swinburne University of Technology, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Monash University, Museum Victoria, Adacel Technologies, and the University of Melbourne. See www.vroom.org.au

12 At the time of writing, there were about 440 ASA members. See asa.astronomy.org.au/asa.html

14 Some advanced displays are not appropriate for all users. For example, stereoscopic 3D displays are not very useful for the 10% of the population who do not have binocular vision. Headaches can arise from overuse of particular techniques, especially when the eyes are forced to focus in an unnatural manner for extended periods of time. For further comments on this issue, see Rots (1986).
