A Crick and Goldsmiths Workshop on Scientific VR
A Crick and Goldsmiths Workshop on Scientific VR
VR is becoming an accessible tool for scientists outside of computing, and scientific data visualisation is gathering more interests from the VR industry as one potential "killer app". In this workshop we explore scientific spaces in Virtual Reality - from molecular and cellular visualisation and 3D interaction to science communication and outreach.
Led by scientists and technologists from the Crick and Goldsmiths, we invite bioscientists, VR and graphics experts, and scientific communicators to this multidisciplinary workshop.
