We have constructed a new research environment for Earth and space science based on virtual reality system and network database: a Virtual Earth Magnetosphere System (VEMS). The VEMS provides an interactive research environment by which researchers can visually understand structure and dynamics of Earth magnetosphere. On the VEMS, data assimilation, combinations of computer simulation and observation data, is possible. Since the VEMS deals with time-dependent data, it helps researches to understand temporal and spatial structure and behavior of the magnetosphere. More realistic data analysis is possible using VEMS on CAVE.
