 +
Today the platform presents a world first [Ref.1,2,3,4] approach towards global rock art heritage data collection through a centralized Hub.

 +
 
 +
As part of the Rock Art Database project, Robert developed an Interactive 2D & 3D Model Viewer that brings 2D images and 3D objects into an interactive virtual environment for visual/perspective and interactive analysis. The viewer allows the user to measure and manipulate the images and models using basic scaling and color adjustment tools. The tool is based on [http://x3dom.org/ X3DOM] and brings together the screenshot function and the annotation function described in the v-must summerschool and makes use of customized JavaScript to manipulate X3DOM attributes in HTML5.

Robert has been involved in a variety of field work and public outreach projects within information sciences and humanities in archaeology, anthropology, environmental sciences, coastal planning and cultural and urban studies. Past projects include field work conducted for the Global Rock Art Database, the [http://www.mirarrrockart.net/ Mirarr Rock Art Project], the Red ZONE big screen installation at Griffith University and the [http://soldcoast.com/ Sold Coast Project].
 +
 
 +
In 2016, the Global Rock Art Database team went to remote rock art locations in the Pacific. The team tested the integration of the [https://structure.io/ Structure Sensor] for iPad within the Global Rock Art Database pipeline using .x3d and x3DOM for modelling and disseminating large scale sites (up to 12m) and small motifs (mm accuracy). The pipeline uses realtime photogrammetric processing and .x3d model manipulation using <Appearance><Material> lighting and color properties and values.
 +
 
 +
In 2014, Robert worked on the [https://www.griffith.edu.au/redzone/whats-on/rock-art-exhibit Red Zone] big screen installation at Griffith University. The installation provides exciting interactive learning experiences for visitors. Through hands-on technology and massive projection displays, visitors can immerse themselves in different worlds, expand their knowledge and explore Griffith University's expertise in science, health, business, the arts and [https://www.griffith.edu.au/redzone/whats-on/rock-art-exhibit rock art]. The PERAHU Team worked on the rock art content which can be viewed on the touch wall at Griffith University's Nathan and Gold Coast campus.

 +
In 2013, Robert was part of the Sold Coast initiative, a cultural laboratory for change. The project is a transdisciplinary team with expertise in contemporary art, design, film, coastal science, public art, humanities, cultural production and policy. The Sold Coast curates public experiments at the interstices of art, science and everyday life, ‘Creating change on the [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]]'.
 +
 
 +
In 2012, Robert took part in the [http://www.mirarrrockart.net/ Mirarr Rock Art Project]. The project studies and promotes rock art sites in Mirarr country and is a partnership between the Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation (GAC) and the ANU Rock Art Research Centre. As part of the field work, the team tested ESS's mobile data recording application for iOS and Android in collaboration with local Park Rangers.

Educational Management & Communication Technology

After completing his honors degree in 2004, Robert started working in educational management with focus on building stronger communication and college administration systems for SAE Institute / qantm college, networking over 55 international campuses on four continents catering to 30.000 students.

The Global Rock Art Database

During his Master's degree in 2009, Robert met Paul Taçon while taking 'Rock Art in the 21st century' at Griffith University. Three years later, in 2012, he founded The Global Rock Art Database project with the support from Paul Taçon at the Place, Evolution and Rock Art Heritage Unit (PERAHU), Griffith University. The project takes a global citizen science approach and currently features over 250 rock art projects and sites from around the world. The Global Rock Art Database explores the use of new technologies for heritage data management and dissemination and looks at ways of making rock art heritage information more accessible and more visible for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

Bat Archaeological Project (American-Japanese Bat Archaeological Project)

In 2007, Charlotte did some amazing stuff --- you just wouldn't believe how vastly mind-bogglingly amazing she is. I'm truth-telling, for sure. Bat Archaeological Project (Oman), 2007+: excavation and survey in a World Heritage Site famous for its tombs, towers, and settlement. This included stints working for the government of Oman developing their regional office.

Saruq al-Hadid Archaeological Project (SHARP)

In late 2014, Charlotte started post-doctoral research based on excavations at Saruq al-Hadid (Dubai, UAE), 2015-2017*: A 3rd-1st mill. BCE embarrassment of riches within giant (1sq km?) sand dunes on the edge of the Empty Quarter. My work is to interpret this enigma and keep everyone sane.

Robert has been involved in a variety of field work and public outreach projects within information sciences and humanities in archaeology, anthropology, environmental sciences, coastal planning and cultural and urban studies. Past projects include field work conducted for the Global Rock Art Database, the Mirarr Rock Art Project, the Red ZONE big screen installation at Griffith University and the Sold Coast Project.

In 2016, the Global Rock Art Database team went to remote rock art locations in the Pacific. The team tested the integration of the Structure Sensor for iPad within the Global Rock Art Database pipeline using .x3d and x3DOM for modelling and disseminating large scale sites (up to 12m) and small motifs (mm accuracy). The pipeline uses realtime photogrammetric processing and .x3d model manipulation using <Appearance><Material> lighting and color properties and values.

In 2014, Robert worked on the Red Zone big screen installation at Griffith University. The installation provides exciting interactive learning experiences for visitors. Through hands-on technology and massive projection displays, visitors can immerse themselves in different worlds, expand their knowledge and explore Griffith University's expertise in science, health, business, the arts and rock art. The PERAHU Team worked on the rock art content which can be viewed on the touch wall at Griffith University's Nathan and Gold Coast campus.

In 2013, Robert was part of the Sold Coast initiative, a cultural laboratory for change. The project is a transdisciplinary team with expertise in contemporary art, design, film, coastal science, public art, humanities, cultural production and policy. The Sold Coast curates public experiments at the interstices of art, science and everyday life, ‘Creating change on the Gold Coast'.

In 2012, Robert took part in the Mirarr Rock Art Project. The project studies and promotes rock art sites in Mirarr country and is a partnership between the Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation (GAC) and the ANU Rock Art Research Centre. As part of the field work, the team tested ESS's mobile data recording application for iOS and Android in collaboration with local Park Rangers.
