The Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) is a leading international centrefor research into the origin and evolution of the Universe. The ICC has VR-enabled one of its large lecture theatres, courtesy of Virtalis. The University has installed a 120 seat ActiveWall system. “VR is here to stay. Our films, Cosmic Architecture, Cosmic Cookery and Cosmic Origins, have been viewed by thousands of people around the world at different outreach events, including at the Royal Society. The depth perception element is vital to the understanding. We’ve successfully brought our vast scientific data sets to the layman whilst our PhD students use the ActiveWall toget a grip on their data too.”
