Visualising extreme and unpredictable fire scenarios
Research Centre
The iFire program connects global researchers and 3D systems in the world ’ s first AI-immersive environment that visualises the unpredictable behaviour of extreme wildfires .
The 3D systems are networked across a range of platforms , using software that enables users to interact with each other by sharing the same 3D setting in realtime , no matter their platform . These platforms range from mobile 3D cinemas , 3D virtual production volumes , 3D LED walls , and 3D head-mounted displays , to laptops and tablets , providing simultaneous interaction for multiple users . It is underpinned by an AI framework that analyses , learns from , and responds to individual and group behaviour in real time .
Collaborators include UNSW iCinema Centre , UNSW Climate Change Research Centre , University of Melbourne , CSIRO / Data61 , Australasian Fire & Emergency Service Authority Council , Fire Rescue NSW , and San Jose State University . unsw . to / ifire
