VIRTUE: Virtual Interactive Reality Toolkit for Understanding the EIC

VIRTUE is a standalone particle physics event display application designed for both desktop and virtual reality. Take a closer look at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Lab, or create and upload new detector geometries and particle physics data to be animated.

Features:

ePIC Detector Model:

Investigate the ePIC detector model, including X-Ray and engineering versions, to understand its design.

Simulated Electron-Proton Collisions:

Witness simulated electron-proton collision events, showcasing the science planned for the future EIC.

Customizability:

Customize detector geometries and animate collision data using JSON files, adapting the application to new collision scenarios or experiments beyond the EIC.

Animation Features:

Freely navigate the virtual environment to investigate the detector and individual collisions, or set the camera and event animator on a loop for smooth, professional-level animations to record for presentations and demonstrations.

Education and Outreach:

VIRTUE serves as an educational resource, engaging young students through virtual reality and offering a unique exploration of collider experiments to physics enthusiasts. With its customizable features, VIRTUE offers an excellent opportunity for undergraduate-level projects, allowing students to adapt it to explore and understand new experiments in the field.
