Experience intelligent transport projects in action by joining a technical tour or attending a demonstration at Summit 2024. 

Technical Tour - UTS Data Arena - 3D Immersions and Visualisations

Wednesday 14 August: 2.00pm - 3.00pm


Join a one hour immersive session at the UTS Data Arena - a powerful immersive facility that can help researchers,
business and government simplify complex information.


Users in the arena can surround themselves in data to observe, explore, refine, improve, discover and learn. This 360-degree interactive data visualisation facility is changing the way we view and interact with data.

Viewers stand in the middle of a large cylindrical screen, four metres high and ten metres in diameter. A high performance computer graphics system drives six 3D-stereo video projectors, edge-blended to create a seamless three-dimensional panorama.

Picture clarity is made possible from an image that’s 20,000 x 1200 pixels.  Each user wears Active-Shutter Glasses, which present separate left/right views to achieve a stereo-visual effect. To complement the visual experience, a 16-channel audio system surrounds the Arena.

The tour is hosted by the University of Technology Sydney.

Wednesday 14th August
2.00pm - 3.00pm (Departing 1.30pm and returning at 3.30pm)

PRICE: $50 per person
