VisLab Case Studies
These case studies demonstrate how the UQ Visualisation Lab supports immersive visualisation, spatial data communication and research presentation across different project types. Examples include digital twins, point clouds, BIM models, 3D models, geospatial data and AR-assisted timber assembly. The videos show how the Igloo 360 environment can support collaborative review and communicate complex spatial and research workflows.
UQ Digital Twin
This video demonstrates a digital twin workflow in the VisLab, showing how spatial models and project data can be visualised within the immersive 360 environment. It highlights the potential of VisLab for reviewing digital twin content at architectural, urban and infrastructure scales.
