VisionSpace

From HIT Lab Australia

The VisionSpace Studio is being constructed within the School of Computing and Information Systems in the Launceston Campus. The design of the VisionSpace at HIT Lab Australia is based very much on the VisionSpace installed at HIT Lab NZ.

VisionSpace is a three-screen immersive stereo projection system that enables groups of people to view and intuitively interact with 3D virtual data in new ways.

The VisionSpace theatre facility has three large projection screens capable of showing hi-resolution imagery to a group of people. Users wear polarised glasses to experience an immersive 3D effect, and the system is equipped with surround sound and high-end infrared optical tracking system to provide a truly powerful experience. The VisionSpace facility in Launceston would be one of the first of its type in Australia and provides people with a unique way to view and interact with their spatial data.

HIT Lab Australia acknowledges and appreciates the considerable amount of assistance and guidance received from HIT Lab NZ during the implementation phase of the VisionSpace. In particular the efforts of Nathan Gardiner and Dr Julian Looser.
