Two new panels have been added to the science console, including the scan analysis panel which provides a 3D visualisation of objects in space.

An initial active scan provides the position of objects in surrounding space. By directing scanners at one of those objects the visualisation is generated, with the detail increasing as more scan data is gathered. The linked article has an interesting overview of what different different levels of scan detail look like.

The visualisation can be rotated and zoomed to assist analysis. Even with maximum scan data the visualisations still lack fine detail but its expected this will improve over time as development of the scanning system continues.
