Reality Emulator - Immersive Platform
Authority: University of Bristol (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe University of Bristol’s Digital Futures Institute (BDFI) is creating the Reality Emulator (RE): a unique coordinated physical and virtual environment providing the capability to study complex technical and sociotechnical systems at different scales, in different contexts, and at different stages. A key requirement of the RE is the use of diverse datasets generated in real-time, over time, historically and at scale, that can be emulated, integrated and synthetically scaled to provide conditions for prospective research on digital innovation and intervention.
The University is advising of the award of contract for the Immersive platform of the Reality Emulator.
