When considering how humans have shaped the planet SimVis finds itself in a place of reflection. Simulation and Visualisation has the potential to create immersive virtual environments for the interactive exploration of solutions to human impact and through this the means to support a wider debate.
Although digital practice is seemingly environmentally friendly (efficient, remote collaboration leaving a small physical footprint) the entire industry relies on the exploitation of rare materials and a global distribution network for equipment. Students used research into the Anthropocene to develop interactive imagery that evolves based on the user’s interaction with it.
