The visualization of cosmological simulations is crucial for both research and public outreach in the field of galaxy and cosmology. We present a series of visualization approaches applied to a high-resolution, large-scale cosmological simulation to reveal the 3D structure of the Universe on cosmic scales. To achieve this, we implemented multiple projection algorithms, including orthographic projection, azimuthal equidistant projection,and equirectangular projection, each offering a unique perspective on the spatial distribution of matter across the cosmic web. These visualizations were further enhanced through Beijing Planetarium Fan-based pseudo-holographic display and successfully incorporated into the full-dome science movie How Do We Know the Universe, which vividly bring to life various astronomical structires such as galaxies, clusters and cosmic wall. This work has been enthusiastically received by the public, significantly enhancing science communication and audience engagement.
