Virtual, augmented and mixed reality (VR, AR, MR) are exemplars of emerging technologies reinventing how we manipulate and experience multidimensional Earth and planetary science data. These emerging technologies serve as transformational paradigms for visualizing and interacting with spatiotemporal datasets. The ability for users to surround themselves within the same 4D “world” as their data enables new and unique approaches to science data representation, exploration, discovery and analysis. Unbounded by traditional 2D computer displays and controls, immersive technologies utilizing haptic feedback, gesture control, voice recognition and other innovations are redefining user interfaces and evolving human/computer interaction for intuitive and efficient data query and control. This session seeks presentations describing current and ongoing work exploiting the power of immersive technologies as leading-edge visual frameworks, providing scientists and researchers with platforms to broaden their understanding of geophysical/geospatial science data and natural phenomena by leveraging the distinctive characteristics of VR, AR and MR.
