Synopsis:
The 4D2U Navigator is a Flash-based interactive
astronomical content viewer. By using this viewer, people can seamlessly fly
through the hierarchical structure of the universe, and watch astronomical
simulation movies such as 'Formation of the Moon' or 'Formation of a Spiral
Galaxy' made by the project. This is a collaboration between our project and an
independent web designer/programmer. As a result, the 4D2U Navigator can present
real scientific data in a more sophisticated interface. It was selected in jury
recommended works at the 9th Japan Media Arts Festival.
