For week 11, Russle Lowe came in to talk about real time environments and how he has used them. Russle is a lecturer at UNSW and takes a number of real time courses.
He is currently working on a big hospital project and he is using Real-Time to allow doctors and nurses and others to walk around the hospital. This means they can check if there is adequate spacing and other things in the rooms. They already ran into one problem where the lift in the rooms for heavy people didn't have enough room to work and it also collided with the doors when opened. This may not have come up if they where not using real time and could have been a really big expensive problem if the hospital had been built with it like that.
He then went on to show us some of his work in Crysis, such as a piece he is working on to go in a small Sydney alley way. He is working on the theory that global warming happens and the water level rises to flood a lot of the city.
