Immersive Science III: Astronomy for All Australians
Purpose:
Talented science communicators A/Prof Alan Duffy and Dr Rebecca Allen return to share the latest wonders of Australian–led research in Astronomy through SciVR; a Virtual Reality (VR) smartphone app upgraded to be more inclusive with new features to increase accessibility. Using this immersive experience, and building off 2018's library network innovation, Alan and Rebecca will engage and educate a larger and more diverse audience through the updated app, a special studio live–stream, and social media Q&A to regional groups and grassroots–organised viewing parties across the country. Finally, SciVR will enthuse local audiences with a Melbourne based talk where guests can engage with the speakers and learn about these exciting topics.
