Table 2 Comments on the visualisation presentations
Animated time series of regional rainfall and
temperature projections
On rather large scale, hard to convert to local/
farm level
Gave a good impact and easy to understand
Show a simple visual of the potential changes
within rural Victoria, and by inference the
implications for different rural industries
Being able to zoom in/on an area/farm and see
future projection of rainfall/temp very good
for making all the talk and information real
and relevant to one person
Interactive 3D models and fly-overs (including
features such as farm buildings, fence
layout, vegetation)
I think that applications of the products will
develop as we discover new ways to use it
Don't really think that visualising farm layout in
3D can help a farmer when they can see and
understand their property by simply looking
at it in real life
Not really relevant for us in our whole farm
planning role, a bit gimmicky, I suspect
farmers would find it difficult to use and a bit
of a waste of time
Makes the whole thing more realistic, short of
actually going into the paddock. It really gets
you oriented on farm
Hyperlinked outputs of pasture growth
modelling results
It provides the detail for the framework within
which farmers might operate in the future
Statistical data would give me a more useful
impression
again, a visual image of what might be, is of use
Realistic panoramas of future farm conditions
I think people often take far more in if they can
visualise it, so this proves a valuable tool in
trying to get the message across
User friendly and relatively easy to use
Not the way my mind works! An aerial photo
plus data projections is OK for me
They will be useful, particularly if it can be
switched from real-time imagery to historic
imagery of same site
People take-in info. differently—the
visualisation makes the info have impact and
it's quick to interpret. I think it is something
people can relate to and may take it more
seriously
I can't connect panoramas and text/tables. Not
sure how a panorama would add value even
with change in crop view. What they need is
a crop yield value, for example, based on
climate change impact
