Abstract

This VR immersive movie explores impacts and collisions between bodies in the solar system, shedding light on the origins of our cosmic backyard. The video is inspired by the work of Dr Katarina Miljkovic, a planetary scientist who specialises in planetary geoscience and space exploration at the Curtin University’s Space Science and Technology Centre.

Accessing the Curtin HIVE

The HIVE is located in Building 200A inside the John Curtin Gallery, on the main Curtin University campus in Bentley. The Curtin University Bus Station is served by many services and the station is 5-10 minute walk from the HIVE. See the map here: http://maps.curtin.edu.au If you are arriving by car, although hourly visitor parking is available in Blue areas at $3.50/hour (Pi1 Blue is the closest), this area is likely to fill quickly. You can also park in Yellow (e.g. Pi1 Yellow) ($1.55/hour) and Green ($0.78/hour) - however you will need to install the CelloPark App to pay for the Yellow and Green areas.
