The dangerous nature of industries like mining, construction, policing and the military make it difficult to adequately train staff in a realistic environment. Most training methods are both costly and inadequate.

The solution developed by UNSW provides a virtual version of the dangerous environment. This removes the risks and costs of training people in the dangerous real world by immersing the trainees in a highly realistic three dimensional virtual world.

The UNSW solution combines interactive computer game style training modules with highly immersive audio / visual environments, known as the AVIE and the iDOME.

NSi is seeking companies interested in purchasing the solutions for training purposes, or companies interested in selling and supporting these solutions to specific geographical and/or industry sectors. Similarly, NSi is interested in working with industry partners that require UNSW to custom build interactive virtual reality training modules for their specific industry situations.

QuickClinical (QC) is a highly customisable online information retrieval system designed as a decision-making support tool. An advanced search technology, QC works by applying an intelligent search interface and process layer over the top of generic search engines.

QC can be a standalone product or integrated into software packages to provide an improved information retrieval facility. The potential markets for the technology are publishers, library systems vendors, knowledge management software vendors, information aggregators and trade associations.

It is reported that 350 people die each week in hospitals due to clinician error, often as a result of poor decision making. QC, designed with this in mind, increases information retrieval accuracy by 20% and speed to answer by 50%. The medical decision support market alone is estimated to be $330 million annually.

QC currently has two licensees and NewSouth Innovations is looking for further licensees in other fields and territories.
