Archived Event: 2015 KICP Workshop

Chicago, IL, USA; 2015 July 28

Hosted at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics.

Main event website: https://kicp-workshops.uchicago.edu/wwt2015/.

This will be an intensive 1-day working workshop for people who are interested in porting their data into WorldWide Telescope and developing uses for that data in WWT - video abstracts, tours, etc. A follow-up data showcase at the Adler Planetarium is also planned for September 24, 2015.

Please contact us at wwt2015@cosmo.uchicago.edu if you are interested in participating.

A lunch talk will provide the larger KICP community with a broad introduction to WWT and ways that its stunning visuals can be used for outreach, teaching, professional talks, publications and research.
