Abstract

The Game-Engine-Assisted Research platform for Scientific computing (GEARS) is a visualization framework developed at the Materials Genome Innovation for Computational Software (MAGICS) center to perform simulations and on-the-fly data exploration in virtual reality (VR) environments. This hardware-agnostic framework accommodates multiple programming languages and game engines in addition to supporting integration with a widely-used materials simulation engine called LAMMPS. GEARS also features a novel data exploration tool called virtual confocal microscopy, which endows scientific visualization with enhanced functionality.
