Virtual Beamline Project at ELI Beamlines, 2013 - 2021
Collaboration with Jiri Vyskocil, Mariana Kecova, Pavel Janecka, Ales Holy and many scientists and engineers
The 'Virtual Beamline' initiative at ELI Beamlines, one of the world’s leading laser research laboratories, was centered around two main objectives: the Virtualization of Research Infrastructure and Interactive 3D Visualizations of Scientific Data. In the Virtualization of Research Infrastructure, I was deeply involved in the development of a comprehensive VR application using Unity 3D. This application has been pivotal in allowing users to navigate extensive labs and interact with physics simulation data. Attracting over 20K users to date, it has been key in visually presenting complex scientific instruments still in their conceptual stages.
Concurrently, for the Interactive 3D Visualizations of Scientific Data, I coordinated a small, specialized team to develop unique WebGL VR applications. These applications provide an immersive experience into detailed supercomputer simulations of laser-matter experiments, marking the initiative's second core objective.
