Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:00 - 16:30, South Australian Virtual Reality Centre

The Cooperative Research Centre of Spatial Information and the University of Melbourne are presenting an online collaboration system SIEVE (Spatial Information Exploration and Visualisation Environment) which presents spatial data in a real-time 3D environment. SIEVE allows users to automatically build 3D environments from 2D spatial data, including terrain, vegetation and manmade structures. Users can explore these environments collaboratively over the Internet and compare existing scenarios with hypothetical futures. Three application scenarios will be explored in this half day workshop:
1) Predicted climate change futures in Victoria,
2) Precision application and planning, and
3) How ancillary data can be streamed into the simulation.

AAMHatch will also be providing a presentation within the workshop, the outline of the talk is:- 1. Fly throughs of each of the City models i.e. Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Hobart 2. City management case study:
Real-time 3D model for overall context of Melbourne CBD Melbourne upgraded precinct for master planning and heritage management Shadow casting of proposed new development 3. Environmental case studies:
Climate change/sea-level rise - real-time simulation of inundation effects on Wellington city NZ Sustainable energy generation - Wind farm modelling - Wellington harbour 4. Benefits summary of 3D modelling in PowerPoint.
