Research title
Development of the Browser-based 3D Visualisation Approach for the ATLAS Outreach Applications.
Research location
Viewing the complex three-dimensional structure of the ATLAS detector normally requires installing dedicated software, which limits accessibility for a wide audience.
Scope of the study
Creating a dedicated software architecture that runs directly in a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) without downloading any additional application.
Research objective
To allow users to explore and study the three-dimensional structure of the ATLAS detector in real time, directly from the browser.
Contribution of GTU researchers to the experiment
Only one GTU researcher is confirmed by name in the source — Alexander Sharmazanashvili, who also took part in the study on the simplification of ATLAS VR geometry. Denis Oliveira Damazio (CERN/BNL) is a co-author; according to public sources the paper has at least eight co-authors in total.
The GTU researcher’s contribution concerns the development of a browser-based 3D visualisation architecture that makes it possible to explore the complex structure of the ATLAS detector without installing additional software.
