Professor Jeffrey Shaw has been a pioneering international figure in new media and interactive art over the last thirty years, setting benchmarks for the use of interactive digital media in virtual, augmented and hybrid reality, immersive visualization environments, navigable cinematic systems, and interactive interface design.

Professor Shaw’s keynote "Immersive Visualisation and Interactive Narrative" will be given with Ms. Sarah Kenderdine (Head of Special Projects at Museum Victoria), and will examine development of new types of immersive visualisation and interactive narrative systems, in particular for Cultural Heritage applications.
