The BC Hydro Theatre (or as CALP refers to it  as “the Decision Theatre”), will feature advanced visualization and interaction technologies to engage audiences in simulations of sustainability scenarios in Metro Vancouver and beyond. Groups will be able to “fly” to different locations, visualize the neighbourhood now and in the future, and manipulate information using wireless devices connected to large visual display screens in order to consider the potential impacts of climate change, energy use and sustainability. Reconfigurable screens will maximize flexibility and allow experimentation with the theatre technology itself. For information on the Theatre see http://cirs.ubc.ca/bchydrotheatre and for more detailed information please contact the Theatre Manager: Tim Herron 

This project was made possible with funding from Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), BC Hydro and other funding partners.  Please visit the CIRS’ website for more information.
