3D ALIVE - 3D Applied Laboratory for Immersive Visualisation Environments

The 3D Applied Laboratory for Immersive Visualisation Environments is a joint project between Monash Geodynamics, AuScope SAM, CSIRO Advanced Scientific Computing, Monash e-Research Centre, and the Monash Schools of Mathematical Sciences and Geosciences. The project also involves overseas collaboration with W. M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences (KeckCAVES) at the University of California, Davis USA.

The facility consists of both a 3D stereo display plus real-time motion tracking, the combination of which will provide a virtual reality (VR) work space allowing real-time interaction with 3D data volumes. The facility is geared towards work groups of 2 to 15 people and, in addition to being used by researchers working with complexly varying 3D data, the facility is open for laboratory style teaching and for presentations requiring 3D data rendering.

Access

The 3DALIVE facility is located in Room 241, Building 28 on the Clayton Campus. Access by non-3DALIVE Steering Committee member groups is encouraged. For more information contact the Facility Administrator.

Facility Training Schedule

Training sessions are 1.5 hours in length and are held weekly: on Wednesdays from 2 pm - 3:30 pm and on Fridays 10:00 am - 11:30 am. Space for each training session is limited, so please reserve a spot in advance by contacting the Facility Administrator.

Facility Booking Calendar

Facility Bookings can be made on a Calcium Calendar (provided by MMI). Please note that all users are required to attend a Training Session before using the facility.
