AVATARS Data Hub
AVATARS - Advanced Virtuality and AugmenTed Reality AppRoaches in Seeds to Seeds - is a BMBF-funded project with 5 years of funding started in June 2019. Advances in omics´ analyses and high-throughput plant phenotyping offer unprecedented opportunities for crop improvement. However, the enormous increase in data volume and complexity bears tremendous challenges for data analysis, visualization, and interpretation. The AVATARS project will use novel approaches for data integration and visualization based on modeling and mixed reality. AVATARS will be composed of a central scientific module and two flanking modules of project co-ordination and communication/education. The latter will establish ties with scientific target groups in fundamental and applied research, plant breeding, and computer vision and will reach out to students, science journalists, and the interested general public with an education-oriented work package. |
