The project that inspired me is Kepler, developed by Roberto Fazio. Kepler is an interactive immersive experience based on NASA open data describing in real-time the properties and features of most exoplanets discovered up to the present time. I think the concept of having real-time updates instead of using the algorithm to summarize the data collected over years is very intriguing. Also, the way they visualize data in virtual reality creates a fresh sensation and curious experience, which is suitable media for the content Kepler displays-always going beyond the limits of the knowledge, proceeding into the unknown world.
As for the algorithm, I know that Kepler is recorded in real-time from the Unity 3D application. I happened to know a little bit of unity. It is a very powerful software that combines coding, visualization, and even more functions, which allows artists, designers, and developers to create a real-time 3D immersive experience together.

In the past, perhaps most people learn about exoplanet through documentary film or vague images captured by spacecraft, which do not necessarily convey the thrillingness of the discovery. I would say the creator’s sensibility is manifest through finding the most suitable media that perfectly embody the content, which, according to the creator, “ shapes the relationship between creative technologies and anthropic observation, placing humankind as witness of the multisensory artistic experiment.”
