Featured Honours Project: Suleyman the Magnificent by Johnny Viola

12 June 2023 /

For his honours project, Johnny Viola investigated the use of motion graphics to increase engagement with history.  The visuals used updated versions of  colours and styles found in paintings of the period, giving the animation a rich texture that adds to the storytelling.  Johnny also won a prize for this poster showcasing the work at the Honours poster day.

Featured Honours Project: Sensory Soundscapes by Ellen Scott

12 June 2023 /

Sensory Soundscapes was created by Ellen Scott for her honours project and focussed on visualisation techniques within virtual reality (VR) experiences.  The project offers a unique, interactive and fully multisensory experience that transports participants through three musical environments.  Each environment explores a different musical genre and music visualisation technique that users experience in VR via the Oculus Quest 2 headset.  The clip above shows a walkthrough of the project, while the images below show some of the interiors created in Unreal Engine.

Different environments were created to represent the different soundscapes
