UC San Diego’s Qualcomm Institute Shows Off Virtual Reality, Wildfire Technology
The "SunCAVE" at UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute has 70 monitors with 4K resolution that researchers said create the world's highest resolution virtual reality system.
"One of the things we’re doing here at UC San Diego is generating scientific and archaeological content at high resolution," said California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology Director Larry Smarr.
Researchers have created models that when combined with wind speed and other weather conditions can predict what a fire will do.
"Wind-driven fires move really fast, but if you can get ahead of it you can manage it better," Altintas said.
