Working
closely with the rover and science teams of the Life in the Atacama project,
the EventScope Lab has deep access to developments in the experiment as they
occur. For museums interested in creating their own Life in the Atacama
exhibits with up-to-the-minute information, this page serves as a repository
of resources for do-it-yourself exhibit development:
The EventScope
Lab is currently collaborating with two featured museums, the Adler
Planetarium and Astronomy Museum and the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History, to produce exciting exhibits and events
based on the Life in the Atacama operations. If your museum is interested
in collaborating more closely with EventScope to create dynamic and engaging
exhibits highlighting the NASA-sponsored Life in the Atacama project, please contact
us. |
Interactive Software
and Modules
EventScope
is a suite of software tools for viewing and authoring interactive, 3D
remote experiences. Three implementations of EventScope have been released
with museums specifically in mind: the Kiosk Viewer, the Wide-Angle Viewer,
and TerrainScope. In addition, EventScope Viewer makes an excellent classroom aide, while the Authoring Tool allows users to customize content and create their own modules.

EventScope Kiosk Viewer
EventScope software with a simplified GUI optimized for
use as a public interactive display. Available for Mac and PC. Download
|
 |
EventScope Wide-Angle Viewer
Wide-angle version of the Viewer software with a simplified GUI
optimized for use as a public interactive display. Circular GUI
design and wide-angle view are well-suited for immersive projection
systems such as the VisionStation by Elumens. Available for Mac and PC. Download |
 |
TerrainScope
TerrainScope contains multi resolution orbital
data sets representing Mars and Earth, allowing
users to visually explore Earth and Mars in a 3D immersive environment. Complements Atacama data by providing context and a point of comparison with Mars. Works well with immersive displays such as the Elumens VisionStation. Available
for PC. Download |
 |
EventScope Viewer
Free, easy to use, 3D software for exploring mission data, remote
experience files and planetary science lessons. Works nicely for classroom situations. Available for Mac and PC. Download |
 |
EventScope Authoring Tool
Author navigable 3D remote experiences, science lessons, and compelling
scientific presentations. Customize Atacama modules for a specific purpose or create brand new modules. Available for Mac and PC. Download |
Interactive
Modules
Atacama-specific EventScope modules (PSEs) are available online through the Remote
Download Location (RDL) under the "Life in the Atacama" tab. The Atacama PSEs consist of data from orbital
views down to microscopic views. Samples ordered by the science team will be available in these modules as well. |
