August 2005 meeting

People attended: 41

ISA Technologies Systems Research Centre, 1 Brodie Hall Drive, Technology Park, Bentley WA 6102

This unique presentation saw ISA Technologies and JumboVision collaborate and explore the capabilities of Super Computing and Immersive Reality.

Gerhard Kimenkowski (Kim) talked about immersive technologies, encompassing such fields as stereo displays (glasses and glass free), haptics and tracking.

Simon Beard from ISA showed us their render-farm and supercomputing facilities. We also got to see their ~8m wide stereoscopic rear projection screen in action.

Over 40 people attended the event, and with all the great toys to play with and look at we had some great feedback!
