Week 11 Excursion

For Week 11 we went on a little trip up to the UNSW Scientia building. Up in this build is what they call iCinema. iCinema is basically a 360 degree 3D cinema room. It is set up with 12 projectors each projecting onto a giant curved projection screen. The images projected are 3D images so you must use 3D glasses to get the full effect.

They showed us a number of videos showing off how this cinema could be used. One was simply a video taken from a car showing a 360 Degree panoramic so it was like you are actually driving the car and can look around.

The other main one they showed us was an interactive real time environment that could be used to educate miners of the dangers they may face. It showed how this type of technology could be used in many ways, specially in the way of real time environments.
