_“In a world of constant change, we need to be prepared - whether in
creative practice, health, disaster management, advanced
manufacturing, defence, or national security - enabling professionals
to keep ahead of ever-changing technological challenges is a
necessity”
_UNSW Art & Design invites you to an open FORUM BRINGING TOGETHER
EXPERTS FROM INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIA SHAPING THE FUTURE OF RAPIDLY
EVOLVING IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES.
How can emergent technologies, methodologies and practices enable us
to understand complex information, and harness new perspectives to
help solve complex issues that we are facing right now?
Industry and UNSW academic panellists will highlight examples of
effective uses of the latest interactive and immersive media, discuss
the implications for FUTURE EDUCATION AND UPSKILLING OF OUR CURRENT
AND FUTURE WORKFORCE, explore the advantages of a human-centric design
approach, and consider the development of new transdisciplinary
approaches and models for collaboration.
The FORUM WILL BE FOLLOWED BY LIGHT REFRESHMENTS AND SHORT TOURS OF
THE STATE OF THE ART VISUALISATION FACILITIES ON CAMPUS.
