MSU's High-Performance Computing Collaboratory opened its new Virtual Environment for Real-Time Exploration facility Thursday. With sophisticated modeling software, scientists there can create various virtual environments for in-depth investigations in hurricane behavior, forest management, architecture, and design development for vehicles and aircraft, among other research fields. Research associate John van der Zwagg (c) demonstrated VERTEX's capabilities.
