Visualization and Simulation
From bringing research tools into the classroom to animating complex physical processes for aiding student discovery -- visualization and simulation tools are central to rendering the abstract more concrete to promote deeper understanding and experiential learning. This is accomplished through adapting and customizing existing commercial technologies or where necessary through developing visualization tools in-house.
OEIT has a longstanding collaboration with MIT Libraries and IS&T to deliver Geographic Information Systems (GIS) visualization services to the MIT community. Other current areas of interest include:
- Mathematics and engineering software
- Development of StarBiochem and other custom research tools
- Zero gravity simulations for Aero-Astro department
