Malta Café Scientifique event on Wednesday

Monday, 4 April 2016, 16:44 Last update: about 11 years ago

Society is always changing. It is changing at such a fast rate that it is difficult for scientists to see what can happen in the next couple of years. But a scenario can easily be designed and augmented in a separate reality. Maps are essential to build such models that prepare for the best or worst of what society can become or happen to it. The latest virtual reality is building a virtual environment anyone can interact with. These developments will push the boundaries of how we relate to each other and engage with digital worlds.

Prof Saviour Formosa will discuss how a 3D model of Valletta was constructed. These virtual models are the maps of the future that can be used for crime and disaster relief, and a better way of life. Come join in the discussion about merging the real world with virtual reality on Wednesday 6 April at 7.30pm (Doors open at 7.15pm) with Prof Saviour Formosa.
