CISESS Virtual Reality Seed Grant Results

The goal of CISESS Scientists Guangyang Fang and Joseph Patton’s Seed Grant project was to develop a Virtual Reality (VR) tool that allows researchers and forecasters to interpret 3-D weather and climate datasets on a sphere more intuitively and efficiently. They redesigned their earlier user interface to make it easier to use – this effort was led by undergraduate interns Damian Figuero and Ashmita Pyne.
