Grant Activity:
Practically Virtual
Purpose:
Practically Virtual showcases how virtual reality is helping scientists, lecturers and teachers in universities and research organisations from cell biology to mining engineering and from biomedical research to data visualisation. This week–long expo event also invites the broader public to join in.
Virtual reality allows scientists to "walk" through the landscape of the human body and look up–close at cancer cells or race down the aorta alongside red blood cells towards the site of a stroke.
Virtual reality is assisting the ongoing research from (amongst others) UNSW's Medicine, Science, Engineering and Art and Design faculties, as well as research organisations such as the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. The main Practically Virtual expo will be at the UNSW Biomedical Precinct on the Kensington Campus in Sydney. Staff from the Museum of Human Disease will also take a mobile version on a regional roadshow during National Science Week and beyond.
