Compra VIRTUE PC

VIRTUE lets users explore particle physics events through a standalone display app on desktop and in virtual reality. Examine the ePIC detector model, including its X-Ray and engineering variants, or view simulated electron-proton collisions from the planned Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Lab. Customize setups by uploading new detector geometries and data in JSON or FBX formats to animate fresh scenarios. Freely navigate the virtual space to inspect detectors and collisions up close, or loop camera views for polished animations suited to presentations. This simulation and education tool draws in young students via VR engagement and aids physics enthusiasts with collider insights. Undergraduates find it ideal for projects adapting the app to novel experiments.

VIRTUE: Virtual Interactive Reality Toolkit for Understanding the EIC

VIRTUE is a standalone particle physics event display application designed for both desktop and virtual reality. Take a closer look at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Lab, or create and upload new detector geometries and particle physics data to be animated.

Features:

ePIC Detector Model:

Investigate the ePIC detector model, including X-Ray and engineering versions, to understand its design.

Simulated Electron-Proton Collisions:

Witness simulated electron-proton collision events, showcasing the science planned for the future EIC.

Customizability:

Customize detector geometries and animate collision data using JSON and FBX files, adapting the application to new collision scenarios or experiments beyond the EIC.

Animation Features:

Freely navigate the virtual environment to investigate the detector and individual collisions, or set the camera and event animator on a loop for smooth, professional-level animations to record for presentations and demonstrations.

Education and Outreach:

VIRTUE serves as an educational resource, engaging young students through virtual reality and offering a unique exploration of collider experiments to physics enthusiasts. With its customizable features, VIRTUE offers an excellent opportunity for undergraduate-level projects, allowing students to adapt it to explore and understand new experiments in the field.
