Scientific paper

The American Museum of Natural History and the Hayden Planetarium have built the most accurate, comprehensive, 3-D atlas of the cosmos called the Digital Universe (DU). The DU enables one to journey from the mountains on Earth to the farthest quasars. The DU enjoys many distribution channels, including pre-rendered space-shows and news bulletins, live planetarium programmes, and a free version available on the internet. Recently, we have partnered with three planetarium vendors to bring the DU to planetariums around the world. These partnerships necessitatethe adoption or creation of standards for three-dimensional data and associated metadata. Many standards exist in the current Virtual Observatory framework and additional standards are being proposed as part of the VAMP programme. We intend to identify additional standards necessary for 3-D, real-time rendering tools for fulldome and flat-screen environments.
