Koikyennuruff (Stirling Ranges)
These mountains have always been a special place for me – one of my existential places in the world. They’re not especially high, nor extensive, but they are ancient and, as far as I know, poorly understood from a geological perspective. Something to investigate. They emerge abruptly, mysteriously, from the...
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 of Tasmania 2020. More work-in-progress in future updates.
VMI Blog VI: Metahumans Lighting Preview
One of the challenges of creating ‘beliveable’ Metahumans for VMI has been striking a fine balance between creating CG surrogates for our scientists – that they are more-or-less happy with – and avoiding stereotypes and cliches. It is not immediately apparent that the Metahuman interface sets out to avoid this,...
No New Messages
An old iPhone recording (2016) of a scam telephone call, using a synthesized voice, recorded on an old answering machine (2000) that uses an even older synthetic voice, meets NVIDIA’s Audio2Face (2021) – ‘an AI-powered application that generates expressive facial animation from just an audio source.’ A conjunction both sinister...
Deep Learning for Heritage Visualisation
Deep Learning can be employed in a variety of cultural heritage visualisation and reconstruction tasks. It is part of a family of machine learning approaches based upon the idea of ‘learning’ data representations through kernel-based algorithms that encode high dimensional abstractions in ‘deep’ or embedded artificial neural networks (ANNs). There...
Mawson’s Huts VR on the EPICylinder
This image shows a portion of a 120 million pixel stereoscopic render of the photogrammetrically-reconstructed interior of Mawson’s Huts, displayed upon the EPICentre EPICylinder at UNSW. As far as I am aware, this is currently (2018) the highest resolution stereoscopic immersive display system in the world – right here in...
Mawson’s Huts VR Project
360º Stereoscopic Views of Mawson’s Huts (photogrammetric + 3D model reconstructions). Preview Video: Note: currently VR view mode on iOS/Android may not work, due to gyro access and software issues. Desktop viewing functions as expected. I will push updates as and when available. These are a few work-in-progress renders of...
Antarctic 360º Video, VR, Panoramas and Photogrammetry
With recent developments in 360º video and VR, it is now possible for me to revisit a variety of material I’ve accumulated over the last 20 years of Antarctic-related visualisation research: these range from work I have done with Frank Hurley’s stereoscopic glass plates (which I commenced in 1999 –...
Tagger: An Interactive OSX Application for Data Visualization
A bit of my Ph.D. research in dataviz at the University of Tasmania – presented at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco (December 15-19 2014), for the Earth and Space Science Informatics Group. Summary: Abstract #6295 ‘Tagger’ – a Mac OS X Interactive Graphical Application for Data Inference...
