Digital Earth Workbench: Aurora
|
The Digital Earth Workbench is an interactive application that runs on a SGI Onyx Infinite Reality system and is controlled by an Immersive Workbench, tracked stereo glasses, and a tracked wand. The application allows an unprecedented freedom to roam georeferenced data sets at multiple resolutions and timescales. This animation is one of a series of direct screen captures of the application in operation. The occasional menu appearance denotes direct intervention by the operator to add or delete data or to activate a new control option.

From a large-scale view of Earths magnetic field and plasma pressure, the view is zoomed down to a view of the northern hemisphere, where time-varying images of the auroral oval are shown.
