Event 1. A brief report...
The first day of Event 1
was held in Bangor at Bangor University hosted by the
Welsh Institute for Social
and Cultural Affairs. After a welcome by Jonathan Roberts and
Ray Karl, John Latham (from the National Trust) gave a short
presentation on Dinas Dinlle. He hightlited how the site had changed
over the years - mostly by coastal erosion. Subsequently, the day
continued with five presentations.
The presentations covered High Fidelity Rendering, Urban Modelling,
Information from the People's Collection, Geophysics and its
visualization and Uncertainty Visualization. The second day was held
in Technium CAST at Parc Menai, Bangor. The day started with various
demonstrations: including the use of the PowerWall, haptic rendering
using the Novint Falcon, and the demonstration of online virtual
worlds (in this case Second Life) for modelling buildings and
historic sites. After a few break-out sessions and discussions the
day concluded with a site tour of the National Trust's site Dinas
Dinlle.
