Bringing research to the public

Housed in our Science and Engineering Centre, The Cube allows for massive, digital display of research outcomes and initiatives. We’re integrating research thinking into our environment, creating an interactive space where innovation comes alive.

Research at your fingertips

The Cube is one of the world’s largest digital interactive display environments, reaching two storeys high, with 145m2 of high-definition interactive screens and ultra-HD projection.

Our researchers use The Cube to showcase and present their research outcomes. They also collaborate with partner institutions and Cube content developers to bring research to life and engage visitors in complex themes such as robotics, physics and palaeontology.

Global connections The Cube highlighted Queensland's economic strengths and trading partnerships during the G20.
Visualising research Managing the impact of potential flooding in The Netherlands and Brisbane using The Cube's interactive screens.
Showcasing partnerships Our international visitors are able to build a deeper understanding of the impact our research has on industry.

Engaging the community

The Cube is open to everyone, and we encourage school groups, university students and the general public to come and interact with its touch-screens and explore science and the world around them. We encourage our ‘citizen scientists’ to contribute to our research and discover an exciting, visual research environment.

By integrating our science and development into a prominent public space, we’re inspiring and engaging the next generation of researchers and innovators, and welcoming them into our QUT research space.
