The #360VR #4Dfarms & #DookieVR sites enhance veterinary and agricultural science education #agveted and bridging the #UrbanRuralDivide @SciMelb

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

Almost time to head back for another round of #DookieVR hopefully some clear night skies and warm days

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@Agrivetbusiness Sorry I missed you. Had a hectic itinerary. Was tricky to find entrance for first time

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

Great few days in Brisbane for #AVAconference26 great weather and excellent conference. Easy to get to the conference via the airport train.

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@Agrivetbusiness Google apps but that shot is from the train itself. Would be great to have a Melbourne airport train

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@0925460330cat So far Brisbane is doing a solid job of being impressive. A few puddles for nice reflections but no rain. Just waiting on some halloumi, things could be far worse!

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

Heading up to the #AVAconference26 in Brisbane to talk about some #VetEd and see what is happening in all things vet

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

Great to spend some time in Melbourne Connect checking out 360 degree display tech for groups with @thomcochrane

A big thanks to the team @peerwise Just adding my students in for the eighth year of using #peerwise. Its been really helpful for generating discussion and communication with students. Usually generate more than 300 MCQs for students to practice and get feedback.

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

A big congratulations to the #VirtualFarm team on our AAUT citation. More than 7 years of image collection at #DookieVR

@AmberB_C If you need something to help you sleep you can read more about its development here: https://t.co/XJSAp8BX0x and a bit about its use in lockdowns here: https://t.co/At9JgyJUts
Just back from doing another 55,000 steps around the Dookie farm for the first update of 2026.

A few hundred images from last week's #DookieVR to process. Each one made up of 75 individual images stitched together. Shows the dry conditions really well.

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@stationmum101 @gomichild Seems wise given I drive here regularly! We do have some novel driving rules. 🪝↪️

@AmberB_C Currently used in agriculture and veterinary science teaching, helping to bridge knowledge gap between rural and urban students.

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@AmberB_C Data including rainfall and temperature to help tell the story of good and poor years. Also glossary module to help explain farming terms. Works on a range of devices from VR to phone to standard screen. Backbone for a range of potential teaching resources

One of the challenges of #360photographs. You mostly end up being in the photo unless there is a convenient hiding spot! View from #MtMajor near #Dookie early last Friday morning. Tripod wasn't quite level. This view straight out of camera.

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

Back into #DookieVR for a other year

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@Agrivetbusiness Ideally room for both.should take a few cars off city roads. Agree rural roads need a lot of work. $ need to get spent in cities and regions, not stop at edge of Melbourne

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

New #Parkville station looking good

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

@Agrivetbusiness Relatively warm this afternoon but skies were threatening. Definitely unseasonably cold November

[Stuart Barber @4DVirtualFarm]

Moody skies in Melbourne
