Name Creator
Stars orbiting at the Center of the Milky Way
Animated 3d model of stars found by Andrea Ghez et al at the UCLA Galactic Center Group. The observations confirmed the presence of a black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Cosmic Ray Showers
A visualization component for AIRES, an existing simulation package for cosmic ray showers, written by physicists for physicists. Several 3d partiview models, some movies. On display at the Pierre Auger Visitors Center in Malargue, Argentina.

SDSS + WMAP
A 3d partiview model of hundreds of thousands of galaxies and quasars found by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Made for SDSS outreach, i.e. for a different purpose than Hayden's Digital Universe. Also has several animations used by various SDSS researchers in conferences e.g. AAAS 2004.

Clustering patterns of handwritten digits
Dinoj made this 3d model for machine learning researchers to show how well their algorithm worked on recognizing handwritten digits.

Global Computer Networks
Dinoj made this 3d model for a GRID researcher who wanted to show how his algorithm worked on PlanetLab nodes. Similar visualizations exist, but only in 2d, link height hadn't been used to convey information before.
