Past initiatives:

  • Pilot Project scheme
     
  • A joint UQ, Powerhouse and Laboite Theatre project.
     
  • A joint UQ and Mincom project focused on open cut mine site safety. Inadequate training is often blamed for most of mining fatalities, VR based training aims to reduce injuries and resulting economic loss by providing a 3D model of open cut mine sites.
     
  • A UQ and SGI Beijing Planetarium project (contracted through SGI), which involves the creation of 24 real-time 3D models showing the history of space flight from Sputnik to the International Space Station, and including Apollo rockets, moon and mars landers and significant satellites of recent years. This project will also include the creation of 80 Constellation images.
     
  • A JCU project looking at Access Grid development for teleinstrumentation. This project focused on remote diagnosis of complex instrumentation and quality assurance via the access grid was a partnership between JCU and Analytical Labs Kalgoorlie, WA. This development is providing a model for remote delivery of complex laboratory services to regional and remote locations.
     
  • A QUT and Rolls Royce joint project looking at the creation of a numerical model of a 2 stroke diesel engine including the design of a new intake and exhaust valve to create a more powerful engine whilst still improving emissions.
