Abstract

This thesis presents a concept for creating a virtual reality application that educates users about space weather. It provides a summary of space weather research focusing on the phenomena and the risks they carry for us. A storyline is created that captures all the key messages. The concept is divided into scenes, containing implementation details for each scene. Scene elements are discussed, as to whether they should integrate real data, simulated data, or standard 3D models. How VR plays a role as well as implementation details are stated. To conclude the concept, a narrated storyboard mockup is discussed.
