Expanded Perception and Interaction Centre (EPICentre) | Research Capability & Technology Portfolio

A pioneering high-performance visualisation facility that forges new ground in integrated artistic and scientific thinking to facilitate understanding of complex datasets and ultra-scale imagery.

Competitive advantage

High-End Visualisation System (HEVS) removes barriers of entry for deploying visualisation applications to any platform including AR, VR, XR, large screens, multi-touch walls
Virtual Reality of the Future (~120 million pixels in 3D) allows experimentation with new User Interface (UI)/User Experience (UX)
The most influential computer graphics and high-performance visualisation laboratory in Australia
EPICentre hosts the highest resolution Virtual Reality (VR) system in the world—nearly 120 million pixels in 3D. This is achieved by 56x60" display cubes, assembled in a 4x14 matrix with 1-2mm edge-to-edge bezels. It also hosts a 6.5m Travelling Full Dome

Impact

EPICentre promotes cross connection of visualization with applied computational simulations, artificial intelligence (AI), and creativity in arts and science

Successful applications

High-End Visualisation System (HEVS): platform allowing the deployment of interactive applications across a range of visualisation systems; one executable that runs everywhere
Massive Networks and AI: visualisation and analytics of very large-scale graphs in immersive environments
