Climate adaptation and risk datasets are powerful and effective tools for decision-makers.

This innovative project explored technological methods such as 360 degree video and virtual reality (VR) to create a user-friendly platform for interaction, training and adaptation planning.

ISF partnered with Climate Risk Engines and the Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI) to demonstrate the potential of immersive environments for training emergency services and infrastructure managers.

The project included the production of such immersive experiences, which necessitated the design of custom capture and display rigs, due to the limitations of existing capture equipment. International award-winning ISF Honorary Associate and VR expert, Cody Karutz, assisted in their design and configuration.

The resulting capture suite, rendering workflow and demo system both enhanced ISF's capacity to undertake such work and that of the NSW government through our collaboration on the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage’s Adaptation Hub.
