The Centre provides researchers with an access to a large visualisation data facility. The visualisation suite has six-large 4K resolution displays powered by a fast computing node with high-end graphics. The dedicated facility is located at the level 5 of the Science Building 302. The service is already helping many research projects and increasing the University research visibility.

Bookable facility and equipment

Our reservable visualization suite is equipped with advanced platforms for presenting data and media. Guidance and support on the usage of these tools and equipment are readily available. In addition, we offer a variety of display technologies, including AR/VR. This space and its equipment are designed for visualising and navigating through large or intricate data sets, which allows for a small research group’s collaborations and meetings.

The hardware we currently have:

10 x Microsoft HoloLens V2
25 x Meta Quest 2
9 x Meta Quest 3
6 x Meta Quest Pro
5x HTC Vive Pro
2x HTC Vive Pro 2
1x VR Laptop
1x 65″ 8K TV
1x 86″ 4K 3D TV
A 2×3 4K curve tile video wall
4 x Pico VR Headsets

Technical support

The visualisation facility and support can help researchers to capture and act on complex problems more effectively, especially when dealing with huge volumes of information. The equipment and tools can provide 3D and immersive capabilities. There are portable set-up options for users to use in off-site displays.

In addition to the bookable hardware and space, CeR is able to provide free technical advice for any of these platforms to help bring your data to life. However, in-depth consultation or customised software development and analytical projects, we will require additional funding to cover our staff costs. Here is to learn more about the Contracted Special Projects and how they work.
