Exploratory visualizations of crystal structure and neutron scattering datasets is the goal of this immersive analytics system. For crystal structure a mesh representing it is displayed in 3D inside a VR HMD, while for neutron scattering data an iso surface is generated from the point cloud.
Navigation is done using of a classical mouse and keyboard. Moreover, the system allows to annotate specific view by recording the position and orientation of the user when the comment is made.
