HMNS Seminar Series

This week we will hear from two senior scientists who use virtual reality technology in their research. Both researchers use the technology across a wide range of applications ranging from pilot training, to interface design, to motor recovery in stroke patients.

The Brisbane 2032 bid for the Olympic and Paralympic games could potentially create many new research, teaching and outreach opportunities for academics in our School in a bid to maximise athlete, administrator and industry partner potential. It is therefore important that we develop a strategy as a School ASAP in order to provide genuine leadership in this area and maintain our position as a world leader in Sports related subjects.

In this seminar, HMNS Researchers will discuss their experience in partnering with Defence and Veteran’s Affairs, as well as showcasing opportunities in this space.
Speakers: Prof Jeff Coombes, A/Prof Nick Gilson, Prof Guy Wallis, Dr Ken McAnally.
