  • A short film describing the development of a prototype application for the Oculus Rift DK2 headset, to visualise subsurface geoscience data in situ. Synopsis: Visualisation and Science Promotion team members Michael de Hoog and Bobby Cerini visited Lake George in southern New South Wales, to demonstrate how the Oculus Rift is used to integrate subsurface resources data in situ with views of the landscape. In the opening sequence, Michael and Bobby set off across the dry lake bed. Michael is wearing the Oculus Rift headset while Bobby carries a laptop, containing georeferenced data previously gathered by Geoscience Australia. The headset has a camera attached to capture the view and enable tracking of Michael's head movements. The video shows what Michael is seeing as he looks around. Different data layers are shown being switched on and off, as Michael gazes at different parts of the landscape. The data are overlaid on the precise location within the landscape in which they were collected, including seismic line, volumes, gravity, magnetic and borehole data. The view changes to show Michael at the lakeside, wearing the Oculus Rift headset and looking at the wider landscape. Again the subsurface data is shown. The geographical extent of the data gathered in this area is revealed with Michael's head movements. A voiceover accompanying the movie describes the processes used to make the film and to show what the headset wearer sees.

  • Video of the geo-heritage aspects of the rocks of Stornes Peninsula, Larsemann Hills

  • A short animation video showing earthquakes occurring in Australia during 2014, as a timelapse. 2014 was a relatively quiet year for Australian earthquakes. Most earthquake events measured less than magnitude 4, which is considered small and unlikely to cause damage. Only seven earthquakes in 2014 were magnitude 4.0 or larger and these were felt throughout the regions in which they occurred. Although Australia, on average, tends to get one magnitude 5 per year, no earthquakes magnitude 5 or greater occurred in 2014.

  • Short movie of large earthqaukes occuring in Australi aduring the last 50 years shown as a time lapse

  • This movie captured the presentation of the new Data and Discovery tool called NaviGAtor

  • An animation of fractional cover data(R:G:B =bare soil, green vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation) from Landat for Towoomba for the period from 1998 to 2012. The animation consists of gap-filled fractional cover data and shows approximately 'a month per second' in the animation.

  • An animation of false colour (R:G:B = SWIR band, NIR band, Green band) Landsat imagery for Trentham and surrounds for the period from 1998 to 2012. The animation consists of gap-filled Landsat data and shows approximately 'a month per second' in the animation.
