Interactive Visual Exploration and Comparison on the Effect of Asteroid Impacts

In SciVis Contest 2018, an ensemble dataset is provided to study the effect of asteroid impacts on ocean. The dataset includes seven simulations covering cases in conditions with different factors such as size of asteroid, whether airburst happens, and angle of entry. We build an interactive online system to study the problem. Three views including a button view, a timeline view and a rendering view are provided to support users’ explorative operations and guide them to get an overview understanding of events in all simulations as long as users focusing on differences between simulations, and finally users can find out something interesting.
