Space Visualization Lab Assistant Volunteer The Adler Planetarium has a unique volunteer opportunity available to welcome and introduce visitors to the Space Visualization Laboratory (SVL) when open to the public. SVL assistants help make exciting research and Adler projects accessible and ensure a high-quality experience for our visitors. SVL presents the unique experience of a working visualization laboratory to museum visitors. Various projects are being developed all the time, and new devices are being tested. Visitors can interact with them at SVL, and meet Adler experts in an exciting and engaging environment while contributing their feedback. In turn, these interactions help in the creation of new experiences. In this working laboratory, scientists, technicians, artists, and educators work together to create new ways for people to explore the universe. At SVL people can experience the prototypes of new interactive visualizations that will eventually move to other areas of the museum, and attend presentations by astronomers and related researchers that take advantage of the visualizations. Modern astronomical instruments produce such massive amounts of data that astronomers now rely on a diverse array of tools to properly display and analyze this information. Developing visualizations further enables scientists and the public to explore and interact with these large datasets in specialized ways. We look to SVL Assistant Volunteers to: • Welcome visitors and inform them about the expertise of the presenter. • Inform visitors that in the SVL there should be no more than five children per adult in, supervised by that adult at all times. • Serve as room monitor: make sure that visitor numbers are tracked and that 3D glasses are cleaned and distributed. • Attend to visitor activity to assure visitors are using the laboratory equipment within specific guidelines. • Answer questions and explain how to use interactive visualizations. • Monitor that all equipment is operating properly and request assistance when necessary. • Make sure the room is left in orderly condition when open hours are finished. • Make sure the room doors are securely closed and locked when open hours are finished.
