David Basiru Amuneni, a PhD student at the University of Portsmouth, delivered a fascinating talk and workshop based on his research into Virtual Reality and its potential for visualising space data. David's PhD project explores the extent to which creative technologies can be mobilised in order to visualise big data and, in particular, data that reveals the age of galaxies. The imagery David creates is based on scientific data. However, he uses creative methods - an immersive virtual reality experience, vibrant colours - in order to engage non-specialists. Members of the public and conference participants were treated to a demonstration of the technology as it has been developed so far, with attendees invited to try out the headsets and explore a virtual universe. David's work traverses the worlds of science and art, computer game technologies and complex data sets. He discussed the opportunities and challenges he has encountered in trying to bridge these two disciplines in order to create something that can be of interest and use to specialists and members of the public alike.
