Today, astronomers have charted the universe and astrophysicists make dynamic simulations of it to better understand how it all works. The Hayden Planetarium’s millennium rebuild produced new ways to view all of this and share it with the world. This course offers a quick overview that covers the concept of visualizing the universe within theater based immersive data visualization. A look at how data across the largest measurable scales can be presented continuously within proper context and displayed through techniques of immersive graphics, interactive presentation and production to tell the most fundamental stories we can ever hope to resolve.
