NDLI: Using stereoscopic 3D videos to inform the public about the benefits of computational science

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library

Abstract	This paper describes an effort to create and disseminate a series of stereoscopic 3D videos that raise awareness about the value of computational science. While the videos target the general population, including the K-12 community, the audience for this paper includes scientific or technical peers who may be interested in sharing or demonstrating their own work more broadly. After outlining the motivation and goals of the project, the authors describe the visual content and computational science behind each of the videos. We then discuss our highly collaborative production workflow that has evolved over the past decade, as well as our distribution mechanisms. We include a summary of the most relevant and appropriate stereoscopic display technologies for the intended audience. Lastly, we analyze and compare this work to other forms of engagement, summarize best practices, and describe potential improvements to future stereoscopic 3D video production.
