As Virginia Tech forges a pathway toward systemic interdisciplinary innovation, it has become clear that a scalable, heterogeneous, and ubiquitous solution for exploring data and creating immersive simulations needs to be created. This proposal, a collaborative effort of the faculty at Virginia Tech who are the experts in this field and who are/will be charged to support such an effort, discusses the motivation and context for such a solution (or more appropriately, array of solutions) and a phased plan for piloting it, that will form the foundation for an array of studios unlike any in the world.
