Abstract:
The effective use of data is important for many different domains, especially with the increasing amount of sensor data from IoT related activities.
One important area is natural disaster response and management. Disaster management professionals use large amounts of data from various sources in order to make informed decisions and effectively administer resources. To facilitate this, many technologies can be leveraged to enhance this process. In any type of disaster scenario, the continuity, availability, and usability of data must be maintained and supported by an immersive, collaborative, environment during time-critical situations.
This seminar will cover a broad research framework for information technologies used in natural disasters and demonstrate a prototype immersive visualisation application that addresses some of the challenges. Also to be discussed are the availability of sensor networks and data sources, as well as some of the UI/UX requirements that are incorporated into such an application.
