Main description:

With the rapid advances of technology, visualisation in the sciences using computers, is a rapidly expanding and evolving area. Visualisation in its broadest sense represents how objects, situations, applications, methodologies and information can be seen and presented. This proposal is to incorporate work in the field of biomedical visualisation and will encompass techniques of using computers to visualise information. This will include photogrammetry, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing, e-tutorial and website design and digital reconstructions and animations. It will showcase research, innovations and current work in the field of biomedicine, life sciences, veterinary medicine and computing sciences presenting data in an innovative and engaging way to showcase complex data and information in an easier to access format.
