Congratulations to Chuck Hansen on the 5-year renewal of his grant from NASA titled “OpenSpace – An Engine for Dynamic Visualization of Earth and Space Science for Informal Education and Beyond”.

The grant is in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), NYU and the University of Linkopping. As part of the renewal the Chuck and team will significantly strengthen OpenSpace as a visualization and live presentation tool with extensions such as Domecasting to connect numerous venues, supporting shared experiences across the country and around the globe, enabling scientists to import data directly from software packages, support hosting user-generated content and making it available to the wider user community, enhanced interaction modes and presentation tools and enable informal science institutions to create novel high-quality immersive experiences for their audiences.
