Experience the curious and unexpected sensation of ultrasonic pressure against your hands as you soar like a bird on an immersive geo-tour of Brisbane River from Moreton Bay to Wivenhoe Dam. Glide past graceful bridges linking the city, cliff to cliff, or touchdown along Brisbane shorelines to enjoy the shapes, sounds, and forms of the city’s unique interplay of geology, wildlife, and human activity. Hosted at The Cube, QUT’s world-class multi-screen venue, this ‘haptic’ journey uses rich satellite imagery and geospatial data, with bird’s-eye and on-the-ground viewpoints enticing visitors to explore how Brisbane is moulded by its riparian environment.
