What we do
Research & projects
Intersecting science, engineering, and the arts through visualization, sonification, and immersive interaction.
Research areas
Visualization
Full-surround, high-resolution 3D imagery turns massive datasets into navigable worlds.
Sonification
54.1 channels of spatial audio reveal structure the eye alone would miss.
Interactivity
Multi-user tracking lets teams reshape simulations together with no loss of self.
