A few days ago on Friday 23rd March myself and a few other academics along with a group of students at BSc, MSc & PhD level visited BP in Dyce to see one of their HIVE (Highly Immersive Environment) installations. The following are a few photos of the group that attended, as well as some of the slides and visualizations presented during the 1.5 hour visit. The first photo seen below is of the group sitting in front of the HIVE’s curved screen, just prior to the presentations commencing.
I have arranged a visit to BP’s HIVE – Highly Immersive Virtual Environment on Friday 23rd March from 09:30 to 11:00. The visit will go through a number of demos highlighting how the HIVE is used. There may also be time for demos of RFID / Video technology in use within BP. If you are interested in attending this then do get in contact with me as places are limited.
“The Aberdeen HIVE suite contains 3 virtual reality meeting rooms enabling users to experience immersion in full 3D imagery, enhancing decision making and collaboration. Its use spans engineering 3D modelling used for planning maintenance as well as engineering modifications. Reservoir / well modelling.”
