Project Parlor: Immersive Learning Environments in the Geowall - Mike Kelly

Now this was one of the main reasons why me and Rob were at the event. Presenter, Mike Kelly, had a forward-projected stereoscopic display set up - it is on the left int he photo above. This is using two projectors to display slightly different images on a special silvered screen that you view through special glasses to see a 3D image. We also spent some time looking at 3D images (with old-style red/green glasses) of Colorado and the Earth (Mike is a Geologist). I have one of these pictures (last seen in Rob's suitcase) and will bring it in when I have it. I've seen/heard/read a lot about Virtual Reality/3D/visualization recently - but this session brilliantly showed how these technologies can be used in LTA activity.

Me and Rob were to spend much of Wednesday evening talking to Mike about such stuff, as this fits with Rob's PhD work and also with a lot of work I've been doing recently about the technology used for Immersive Visualisation Environments. Mike has been in touch since the event
