The Large Interactive Laser Lightfield Installation, LILLI, is a 360° volumetric aerial lightfield display that uses a combination of laser and video projectors to visualize oceanographic, meteorological, and near-space data sets to multiple users, without head mounted displays and in full ambient lighting conditions. Built using a free, readily available game engine and combined with an open source custom data processing pipeline, LILLI allows a large group of decision or policy makers to approach and manipulate large data sets in real time. Four extensive view zones allow a command-and-control team an unprecedented level of situational awareness.
