As part of the HIT Lab AU Foundation Project, an interactive 3D virtual reality theatre, code named the VisionSpace is currently being installed. Also a state of the art, high speed, high definition video conferencing facility, code named Access Grid, will soon be installed within HIT Lab Australia that will allow simultaneous high definition video conferencing between multiple sites.
Utilising iPhone/iPod touch for Controlling 3D ApplicationsHIT Lab AU and the School of Computing and Information Systems has been successful in obtaining an Apple University Consortium (AUC) Development Fund Innovation Grant to develop software that allows an iPhone or an iPod touch to control 3D applications. One of the aims of the project is to provide a more intuitive wireless controller for the HIT Lab AU VisionSpace and utilise the unique touch screen features available on Apple's iPhone and iPod touch. The grant from Apple provides the hardware required for the project comprising an iPhone 3G 8GB, an iPod touch 8GB, an Airport Extreme, and a MacBook Pro.
