Today in Professor Matthew Wilson’s 4th year class, Coasts and Rivers: from Natural Processes to Urban Environments, students got a sneak peek at a project the GRI is doing for the National Hazards Commission. This work looks at how the presentation of virtual reality video impacts understanding of flood events vs using flood maps alone. Students had the chance to try out the experience in UC’s Igloo Immersive Space and with a VR headset.
