Heads up! Ever wondered about the heads outside the Sheldonian? Who do YOU think should be on display? Learn more about the Oxford Heads project - & design your own head for display - at tomorrow's @HSMOxford event: hsm.ox.ac.uk/tomorrows-oxfor…
Fantastic interaction between @ashenkin & @aliceladenburg on architectural vs. art-based practice: "is there a middle point between the residue of perception & architectural science that 3D visualisations might offer? A mode of knowledge possible through these technologies" #dvc
Concluding the day with @DrMCNicholls (@StJohnsOx) on the 3D visualisation of Rome reconstructing the city with volumetric capacity, movement & the illumination of spaces/buildings/infrastructure with applications in learning resource video gaming #dvc#modsvol3D
While visuality is critical to this modelling of Rome, @DrMCNicholls mentions users asking for additional features like sound - how might the deployment of this feature alter responses to 3D representations of cultural heritage sites, as opposed to photos/images? #dvc
@Helen_Pritchard introduces queer analytics to speculate on practices that damage institutions, power structures, path dependencies, colonialism as an urgent reclaiming of data analytics informing the "Possible Bodies" action research project w/@citizen_sense, @goldcomputing#dvc
“It is an aesthetic dream, a dream of isomorphism between the discursive object & the visible object in the Amazonian forest.” @Helen_Pritchard discusses item 035 'Difficult Forest' [possiblebodies.constantvzw.o…] urging us to consider the possibility of the forest's liveliness #dvc
The short paper is out on our description of the tallest tropical tree (possibly the tallest angiosperm), exploring why it is the height it is, and accompanied with glorious 3D data. Great partnership with colleagues in UK and Malaysia
Day two of 'Models, Volume, and 3D Visualisation' at @StJohnsOx opening with @ProfGillian reminding us that visualising technologies are hot topic at the moment with @T3D2019 at @bodleianlibs nearby exploring its historic & contemporary impact on art & science #dvc#modvol3D
Exciting audience participation as @ashenkin & @aliceladenburg prompt us to think through how we measure the forest while they relay the LiDAR techniques being used in @Gestalt_Forest to craft new perspectives on tree architecture vs. video/audio/diary to record observations #dvc
"We should be careful what spaces we immerse ourselves in to from refugee sites to Pompeii" @Linnea_Saltin of @KAU on the discomfort & disorientation of being in place while being out of place in Virtual Reality #dvc#modsvol3D
@linnea_saltin, @KAU shares this striking image of a woman riding a bike immersed in another environment against the backdrop of a sunset ➡️ VR technology is embedded in gendered, embodied experiences of immersion #dvc#modsvol3D
