Researchers working on the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) experiment have developed a Unity-based virtual reality system that immersively visualizes detector geometry and event information. The new framework is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional visualization tools and provide a three-dimensional, interactive view of complex neutrino detector data. The VR
