Google Summer of Code 2016 with Liquid Galaxy
Yay! I have been selected for a Google Summer of Code project with Liquid Galaxy this year. I will be working on enabling Cesium - an open source virtual globe, for Liquid Galaxy. Liquid Galaxy is a panoramic mutli-display visualization tool for an immersive and a riveting user experience. The Liquid Galaxy project started off with Google Earth for the panoramic system, and has evolved to visualize a variety of datasets with an interactive experience. The following video shows Liquid Galaxy in action!
CesiumJS is a javaScript library for rendering 3D globes and maps. I had done a GSoC with the Cesium Community last year for the project NASA's Data Curtains from Space. For this year's GSoC project with Liquid Galaxy, I aim to enable Cesium across multiple displays, with the Camera and the Content being synchronized amongst the Master and Slave displays. I also plan to work on Space Navigation Camera Control for Cesium.
I would like to thank my mentor Andrew Leahy and the Liquid Galaxy team for selecting me for this GSoC 2016 project. I am very excited to get started!
