Reliving RSV Aurora Australis last voyage to Antarctica in VR
A stunning virtual reality experience of the final Australian voyage of the icebreaker RSV Aurora Australis to the Antarctic continent is part of the ‘next gen now’ exhibit, a Swinburne/ACMI collaboration showing from 7-13 August.
‘Aurora Australis Ultimo Choro‘ was created by Swinburne’s Dr John McCormick and fellow digital artist Dr Adam Nash from RMIT. They spent six weeks aboard the Aurora Australis in early 2020 after being awarded the Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship.
For ‘Aurora Australis Ultimo Choro’, Dr McCormick and Dr Nash use laser scans of the ship, crew and expeditioners to present a VR experience depicting the intricate choreography of the ship and its expeditioners.
