Novel Projection Environments

Abstract

Paul Bourke will present and discuss a number of the more unusual projection environments he has either developed or been involved with. This will include VROOM (the Virtual ROOM) at the Melbourne Museum, a 360 degree stereoscopic cylinder at iCinema in Sydney, planetarium domes including a buckyball dome at GinGin, and some smaller more personal immersive environments. Applications of such environments include visualisation, engaging spaces for education, entertainment, and gaming. Some discussion will also be given to what application or game developers need to do in order to create content for such environments.
