UNSW Centre for Interactive Cinema Research

Capabilities

Personalise

The iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research undertakes immersive visualisation projects through the use of next-generation AI aesthetics and technologies to model unpredictable scenarios.

Competitive advantage

  • World-leading expertise in Artificial Intelligence, AR, VR, mobility and robotics
  • Frontier 3D cinematic, modelling, printing, scanning and robotic platforms
  • High-End Computer Graphics and AI Labs
  • Global network of cutting-edge research and industry partners
  • Multidisciplinary research integrating advances in the creative arts, engineering and sciences

Impact

iCinema has facilitated the use of next-generation applications in contemporary art, cultural heritage, broadcast content, defence memorialisation, digital museology, mine training and transport simulation. These applications have contributed to Australia’s international leadership in transformative advances that translate cutting-edge visualisation research into industry application. They enable end users to explore interactive modelling of fictional and real-world scenarios in real time at cinematic 1:1 scale through full-body exploration using Artificial Intelligence. These applications provide innovative visualisation modalities that are greatly sought after in a world increasingly reliant on collaborative human and machine decision making facilitated through modelling of unpredictable scenarios.
