Virtual Reality Visualization Algorithms for the ALICE High Energy Physics Experiment on the LHC at CERN

Analysing massive amounts of data gathered during many high energy physics experiments, including but not limited to the LHC ALICE detector experiment, requires efficient and intuitive methods of visualisation. One of the possible approaches to that problem is stereoscopic 3D data visualisation. In this paper, we propose several methods that provide high quality data visualisation and we explain how those methods can be applied in virtual reality headsets. The outcome of this work is easily applicable to many real-life applications needed in high energy physics and can be be seen as a first step towards using fully immersive virtual reality technologies within the frames of the ALICE experiment
