Liquid Galaxy! March 21st

Wow, what an honour it was to be one of the first student groups to explore the prestigious and newly constructed 5th floor of the Wallace Building! I did a little research prior to class as I had never heard of the Liquid Galaxy before and what I found was a great learning tool that was developed by engineers at Google in their spare time. Yes, you heard that right.. SPARE TIME!

I believe that this interactive experience is an excellent learning tool that can be used in all aspects of work and studies as it offers an in-depth look at our surrounding world. I also find it quite amazing and am humbled by the fact that the university is only place in Canada that has one of these machines. It definitely puts the university on the map as far as this technology goes!

We explored a few different places while looking at the Liquid Galaxy on Thursday. One of our classmates is from Hong Kong, as so she showed us around different buildings and was great tour guide of the city!  I would of liked to of done my own exploring on the Liquid Galaxy but I had to jet off to work so I'm hoping I can get the chance to go up there again in the near future! 

Until next time,
