Envisioning Antarctica : Gaussian-splatting Experiments
This page will host my experiments with Gaussian-splatting pipelines. I finally found some time to get round to setting up the environment – pretty straight-forward stuff – and a lot of emergent integrations that...
Unreal Engine, Code Llama + LoRA
It’s exciting times for working with Large Language models for computer programming – especially for generalists like me who work across a range of platforms, languages and task-spaces that are often not very conversant...
East Antarctica: Geophysical Visualization
Visualization showing seismic survey stations across East Antarctica (2020) and inversion profiles of BEDMAP, Crust and LAB datasets. Produced for the Antarctic Gateway Partnership. Visualization by Peter Morse, Tobias Stål and Anya Reading University...
Playable Earth: ANAT Bespoke Residency
Playable Earth :: ANAT Bespoke Disrupting the status quo of Earth Observation Visualisation through immersion and interaction. Playable Earth is an ANAT Bespoke Residency in partnership with Swinburne University. The project aims to explore novel ways...
VMI Blog IX: Weather & Penguins!
A quick demo on work-in-progress on VMI, demonstrating progress on weather simulations and few other features. I’m using the fantastic UDS rather than the inbuilt UE volumetrics and particle systems, as this provides an...
GPlates Visualizations
GPlates is ‘a plate tectonics program..(used to)..manipulate reconstructions of geological and paleogeographic features through geological time.’ I’ve looked at (and used) GPlates on and off over the years – it’s definitely the kind of...
VMI Blog VIII: Voices in the Digital Twin
A night-time flight around Macquarie Island, reflecting both technical progress, technical issues, and a composite narrative of scientists who have worked there – an initial experiment in Digital Twin story-telling.Plus: demonstration of 3rd-person VR...
VMI Blog VII: Animals and Environment
We’re making good progress on environmental visualization and placing animals in our VMI simulation. Gina Moore and I have been working closely together and have moved a huge amount of our workflow into Houdini...
VMI Blog V: A Metahuman Experiment
Part of the brief we developed for our Virtual Macquarie Island project involves the deployment of in-world avatars of the scientists we interviewed. We’ve been very fortunate to interview nine specialists with many decades...
VMI Blog IV
A brief 9-minute overview of work-in-progress on Virtual Macquarie Island for the VMI Project. The movie covers the development of the environment and terrain model, ocean workflow and initial development tests in endemic fauna...
Visions of Australia: VMI
Synopsis Virtual Macquarie Island (VMI 1.0), is a prototype digital exhibit created in collaboration with TMAG and the Australian Antarctic Program. It is currently on exhibit at TMAG’s Islands to Ice Antarctica gallery. VMI...

Exploratory volumetric deep Earth visualization by 2.5D interactive compositing
Abstract:In this contribution we consider the visualization of global, deep Earth volume datasets for display and researcher interaction. While the algorithms and data analysis techniques that produce such volumetric results have become more sophisticated,...
Western Australia from Space
The brand new $396-million-dollar New Museum for Western Australia, opening in 2020, approached me for a visualisation of Western Australia from space, having seen a fulldome sequence from my 4k planetarium movie, Dark. They...
Hemispheres of the Mind
‘Hemispheres of the Mind‘ is an immersive fulldome experience exploring cutting-edge computational imaging and simulation of brain structure and activity. A collaboration between Cyrille Favreau (Blue Brain Project EPFL), Sarah Kenderdine (eM+ EPFL) and...
Dark – The Movie
Produced by Peter Morse and Paul Bourke DARK is a fulldome movie that explains and explores the nature of Dark Matter, the missing 80% of the mass of the Universe. The Story The search...
Immersive Analytics, Colour and Geoscience Visualisation
Over the last few months, I’ve been wrapping up my part-time second PhD, looking forward to new challenges. The research has focussed on interactive data visualisation and immersive analytics, principally developing a suite of...
