Sustainable Immersive Visualization: A Tale of Two Visualization Labs

Abstract

For large-scale immersive installations, sustainability is a challenge. This talk presents a comparative analysis of two immersive visualization laboratories, each following distinct trajectories. At the core of this discussion lies the question of what has made the NREL ESIF Insight Center a sustainable success for the last decade. Our examination encompasses three pivotal ingredients: the right funding model, the right usage model, and demonstrating added value.
