Query: E0102-VR: exploring the scientific potential of Virtual Reality for
  observational astrophysics   Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been subject to a rapid democratization
in recent years, driven in large by the entertainment industry, and epitomized
by the emergence of consumer-grade, plug-and-play, room-scale VR devices. To
explore the scientific potential of this technology for the field of
observational astrophysics, we have created an experimental VR application:
E0102-VR. The specific scientific goal of this application is to facilitate the
characterization of the 3D structure of the oxygen-rich ejecta in the young
supernova remnant 1E 0102.2-7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Using E0102-VR,
we measure the physical size of two large cavities in the system, including a
(7.0$\pm$0.5) pc-long funnel structure on the far-side of the remnant. The
E0102-VR application, albeit experimental, demonstrates the benefits of using
human depth perception for a rapid and accurate characterization of complex 3D
structures. Given the implementation costs (time-wise) of a dedicated VR
application like E0102-VR, we conclude that the future of VR for scientific
purposes in astrophysics most likely resides in the development of a robust,
generic application dedicated to the exploration and visualization of 3D
observational datasets, akin to a ``ds9-VR''.
