Towards the Exploration Metaverse

Disruptive technologies are an increasingly familiar feature of the modern world as the rate and extent of change in our lives rapidly grows. But what is their impact on geoscience and the minerals industry, and where do the opportunities for innovation lie? Geoscientists are surrounded by increasing volumes and complexity of data. The problem isn’t so much what data we should collect, but how do we use the mountains of information at our disposal and turn it into new insights and knowledge? 

Virtual and augmented reality are rapidly evolving technologies that may offer novel solutions through data immersion. As part of the MinEx CRC, UniSA's Australian Research Centre for Interactive and Virtual Environments has developed three innovative projects that use immersive technologies to work towards the goal of an Exploration Metaverse. These projects encompass augmented reality core logging (LogAR), virtual collaboration and visualisation of spatial datasets (OzMap), and immersive analytics for geoscientific data (ImAxesGEO).

Come and experience these exciting new VR and AR technologies at CORE Connect this August! Learn more about how each of these platforms introduce new tools to enable rapid data-driven decision making.
