U.S National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is an agency that enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment around them. Shira NOAA Explorer plugin visualizes publicly available data provided by NOAA and enables it to be displayed in planetarium presentation environments. Since it is a Shira Presenter add-on, it can be used not only for planetariums but also for flat screens or single-projector spherical display equipment called Science On a Sphere® (SOS). The first download allows you to view 40 datasets. As NOAA content is converted, this number will increase to 200 in the future thanks to the download manager.

In this version, Shira Universe has been transformed into a plugin thanks to the plugin support developed in Shira Presenter and has been fully integrated with Shira Presenter.

Previously, Universe was sharing opengl textures with Presenter via the Spout library. Now direct sharing is provided. This development aims to eliminate the need for the Spout library and improve rendering performance.

Other innovations
