Today’s online shoppers can use augmented reality (AR) to aim their smartphones at an empty corner of their living room to see how a particular new lamp might look there, and diners can instantly see a restaurant's menu on their phones just by scanning a QR code posted at their table. This project will leverage the tremendous investments in AR made by the corporate world over the past several years, and the familiar ease of QR codes, to allow astronomers to see and explore the 3D Universe just as easily as they might shop for a new couch. Building on their 2021 success in publishing the first AR-enhanced figure in an American Astronomical Society Journal, the funding from this award will be used to create a robust system allowing any author to publish figures showcasing high-dimensional data in augmented reality environments. No expensive equipment beyond the same smartphones and tablets used by online shoppers will be needed. Astronomers will be able to see and explore their data in "3D" by walking around projections of it hovering above flat surfaces, or holding in their hands using AR target devices. Imagine, for example, a jet from a black hole, spewing out material from the center of a simulated galaxy, projected just above a researcher’s kitchen table, etc.Over the course of the project, the team will design, repeatedly test, and ultimately deploy an efficient and effective end-to-end system for embedding augmented reality figures in scholarly journals. By enriching scholarly communication, this new AR-based system is expected to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. The system created will extend across multiple modular cyberinfrastructure components, including: data format standards; data analysis software; 3D conversion tooling; AR integration pipelines; visual ID encoding infrastructure; and the publication process. The system for authoring and deploying AR figures created and tested under this proposal represents cyberinfrastructure innovation that will ultimately open completely new channels for communication amongst all who rely on effective communication of high-dimensional data.This project is supported by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure in the Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering and the Division of Astronomical Sciences in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

当今的在线购物者可以使用增强现实（AR）将智能手机瞄准客厅的空角，以查看特定的新灯的外观，而用餐者只需扫描桌子上的QR码即可立即在手机上看到餐厅的菜单。该项目将利用过去几年对公司世界进行的AR投资，并利用QR码的熟悉的易度性投资，使天文学家可以轻松地看到和探索3D宇宙，就像他们可能购买新沙发一样。基于他们2021年在美国天文学会杂志上出版第一个Ar-增强人物的成功，该奖项的资金将用于创建一个强大的系统，允许任何作者发布在增强现实环境中显示高维数据的数字。不需要在线购物者使用的智能手机和平板电脑以外的昂贵设备。天文学家将能够通过绕过平坦表面上方的项目徘徊或使用AR目标设备握在手中，从而在“ 3D”中查看和探索他们的数据。想象一下，例如，从一个黑洞中的喷气式飞机从模拟星系的中心喷出材料，在研究人员的厨房桌子上方投射出来。在项目的过程中，团队将重复设计，测试并最终部署有效的端到端系统，以将增强现实人物嵌入科学期刊中。通过丰富科学的交流，这种新的基于AR的系统有望加速科学发现的空间。创建的系统将扩展到多个模块化的网络基础结构组件，包括：数据格式标准；数据分析软件； 3D转换工具； AR集成管道；可视ID编码基础架构；和出版过程。根据该提案创建和测试的创作和部署AR数字的系统代表了网络基础设施创新，最终将在所有依靠高维数据的有效沟通的人之间开放全新的渠道，以提供高维数据。该项目得到了高级Cyber​​infrasture在计算机和信息工程学局中的高级Cyber​​infrasture办公室的支持。 NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来评估，被认为是宝贵的支持。
