UCD PhD candidate, Mr. O’Keeffe, spoke at NYU MAGNET on March 24, 2017 discussing new methods of viewing large portions of massive remote sensing datasets through low cost VR headsets.
Abstract
This talk informed viewers on new methods of viewing large portions of massive remote sensing datasets through low cost VR headsets, using Google Cardboard, external controllers and smart phone technology. This talk included methods for managing point cloud data for real time streaming, to minimise latency to the headset. Looking at how users can interact with the data to extract more details than possible from previous technologies.
