Development of the Virtual Earth\u27s Magnetosphere System (VEMS)

Abstract

We have constructed a new research environment for geo-space science based on 3-D visualization tool and network database; Virtual Earth\u27s Magnetosphere System (VEMS). With an interactive research environment researchers can visually understand structures of the Earth\u27s magnetosphere using VEMS. On the VEMS, computer simulation results and observation data are simultaneously visualized, having a potential to data assimilation for geo-space studies in the future. Since the VEMS deals with time-dependent data, it also helps researchers to study dynamics of the Earth\u27s magnetosphere. We found that immersive data analyses are possible using the VEMS on a virtual reality system
