DomeLab - an ultra-high resolution experimental fulldome: This project will establish the first ultra-high resolution (4000 x 4000 pixels) experimental fulldome in Australia (DomeLab). This fulldome facility will provide a powerful immersive dome-based video projection environment. Partners will work collaboratively across three themes: interactive media, future museology and experimental humanities. Through the national research services AARNet and Intersect's research data storage infrastructure, DomeLab will extend pioneering research in aesthetic frameworks and frontier technologies to benefit artistic, cultural, museological and humanities researchers. DomeLab is designed as a touring system and will be installed throughout the country at leading institutions. Read moreRead less
Transforming the early modern archive: the Emmerson Collection at SLV. In 2015, State Library Victoria (SLV) received the bequest of the Emmerson Collection: a national treasure of over 5000 early modern rare books and manuscripts, the first and only early modern archive of scale to be held by an Australian institution. Bringing together experts in early modern studies and the digital humanities with specialist library staff, this project will uncover the contents and scope of the collection and ....Transforming the early modern archive: the Emmerson Collection at SLV. In 2015, State Library Victoria (SLV) received the bequest of the Emmerson Collection: a national treasure of over 5000 early modern rare books and manuscripts, the first and only early modern archive of scale to be held by an Australian institution. Bringing together experts in early modern studies and the digital humanities with specialist library staff, this project will uncover the contents and scope of the collection and promote its international scholarly significance to the wider world. In doing so, it will develop new digital tools designed to unlock the value of this unique public resource for a wide range of end-users.Read moreRead less
Cultural sensorium: An ethnography of the senses. This project aims to develop an ethnography and a public platform for the communication of culture as living heritage. In direct response to the national and global focus on safeguarding intangible Indigenous World Heritage, the project will research largely invisible aspects of knowledge and tradition by combining sensory ethnography with digital culture. Outcomes will advance knowledge of the senses and promote understanding of Australian Indig ....Cultural sensorium: An ethnography of the senses. This project aims to develop an ethnography and a public platform for the communication of culture as living heritage. In direct response to the national and global focus on safeguarding intangible Indigenous World Heritage, the project will research largely invisible aspects of knowledge and tradition by combining sensory ethnography with digital culture. Outcomes will advance knowledge of the senses and promote understanding of Australian Indigenous cultures through a new immersive and interactive public platform.Read moreRead less
When science meets art: an environmental portrait of the Shoalhaven River Valley. This project will involve a collaboration between art and science to create an environmental and cultural portrait of the Shoalhaven River Valley. Environmental readings of river and land quality will be converted into a visual and audio display for both on-site and off-site visitors.
Transforming visualisation in museums: deep mapping for narrative coherence. This project aims to evaluate the use of interactive virtual environments in the museum context. This project plans to create the world's first narrative-driven multi-user ‘deep mapping data browser’ to produce a visualisation of cultural heritage. The project intends to conduct user evaluation across three museum sites — in Australia, Hong Kong and China. Intended outcomes are innovation in museum interpretation and tr ....Transforming visualisation in museums: deep mapping for narrative coherence.

Narrative reformulation of museological data: the coherent representation of information by users in interactive systems. The proposed research seeks to provide Australia with a long-term opportunity to enhance its involvement in the billion-dollar creative economy by building the world’s first immersive 360-degree interactive data browser. Research into such systems benefits society by providing a cutting-edge development in digital technology and information access that enables a creative inno ....Narrative reformulation of museological data: the coherent representation of information by users in interactive systems. The proposed research seeks to provide Australia with a long-term opportunity to enhance its involvement in the billion-dollar creative economy by building the world’s first immersive 360-degree interactive data browser. Research into such systems benefits society by providing a cutting-edge development in digital technology and information access that enables a creative innovation culture. Through applied research into the narrative forms that underpin museological archives, this study will ensure that Australia remains at the forefront of the growing world-wide research into interactive technology thereby assisting the global digital media industry to tackle emergent challenges.

Reformulating war memory as a dialogical interactive narrative. The project uses cutting-edge visualisation technology to explore ways to communicate and understand the collective experiences and memories of war. The project will enable the active participation of defence personnel and their families in the creation of a world first interactive archive of war stories.
Transforming rehearsal design using an interactive spatial aesthetic. The Project aims to investigate an interactive spatial aesthetic that facilitates modelling of operatic rehearsal design. It will do this through application of an experimental artistic system that reshapes concepts of spatial design through collaborative interaction between creative teams and digital systems. It demonstrates how creatives can immersively design a rehearsal in real time at up to 1:1 scale, assisted by an evolv ....Transforming rehearsal design using an interactive spatial aesthetic. The Project aims to investigate an interactive spatial aesthetic that facilitates modelling of operatic rehearsal design. It will do this through application of an experimental artistic system that reshapes concepts of spatial design through collaborative interaction between creative teams and digital systems. It demonstrates how creatives can immersively design a rehearsal in real time at up to 1:1 scale, assisted by an evolving database. It transforms our understanding of rehearsal design and the way it can be aesthetically explored, with outcomes that optimise and streamline design processes in the performing arts industry.Read moreRead less
Reformulating set design aesthetics via a dialogical model of interactivity. This project aims to investigate the emergence of novel forms of interactive aesthetics in contemporary performance design. It will do this through experimental application of an artistic system that reshapes concepts of set design by integrating developments for new types of collaborative interaction. This will allow Australia to capitalise on new digital opportunities that will advance the development of Australian pe ....Reformulating set design aesthetics via a dialogical model of interactivity.
