The McAuliffe Simulation Lab

The McAuliffe Simulation Lab is a high-end simulation and visualisation space designed to support cradle-to-career immersive learning, serving students and adult learners alike.

Built around cutting-edge display technology, the lab enables high-resolution, real-time visualisations and fully immersive VR CAVE experiences.

The work was delivered in collaboration with SSIA Technologies at Framingham State University.

CAVE Environment

CAVE stands for Cave Automatic Virtual Environment — a room-scale virtual reality system where stereo-scopic 3D content is projected onto multiple walls, allowing users to move naturally through a shared virtual space.

Technical Focus

  • Real-time stereo 3D rendering
  • Unreal Engine–based visualisation pipeline
  • Multi-wall CAVE projection setup
  • Designed for group-based, experiential learning

The lab blends serious simulation with accessible interaction, creating a space where complex ideas can be explored intuitively and collaboratively.
