SRI International (SRI) and Asylum Labs (Asylum) propose using 3D virtual world gaming technologies to enhance the understanding, engagement factors, and the recruitment impact of Cyber Challenge Competitions (C3). This project intends to address the C3 engagement challenge by designing visualization and presentation technologies that have proven highly successful in e-Sports leagues. The project will demonstrate how C3 forums can be transformed with a high-engagement visualization layer for cybersecurity talent recruitment. This project has a potential to increase student and researcher community engagement in cyber-challenge academic competitions. It will implement key innovations and lessons from e-Sports competitions as potential design alternatives for the visualization framework. By increasing the interest and impact of C3, it will help to identify and attract talented individuals. Elevating the experience of participants and spectators at C3 events has a potential to increase interest in the cybersecurity profession, promote cybersecurity to a larger talent pool, and decrease the age at which people become interested in this field. Currently, e-Sports events draw a broader following among minority groups than C3 events. The project aims to increase the appeal of C3 events to a younger and broader audience and to understand specific factors that inhibit female and minority student participation in fields related to cybersecurity.The purpose of this project is to identify and develop critical cybersecurity skills. The engagement strategies and human-intuitive presentation methods employed in the current generation of C3 events seem to attract those who have already acquired an interest in cybersecurity. The proposed underlying 3D game-like visualization of network attack and defense systems may lead to operational enhancements to future threat-analysis environments. The project will primarily focus on human engagement and understanding of complex data presentation in fast-paced computer attack and defense competitions. The project's system design will incorporate perspectives and prior research from the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research community, including abstraction, inclusive demographic and gender appeal, intuitive iconography, and visual-cognitive load management.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

SRI International（SRI）和庇护实验室（庇护）建议使用3D虚拟世界游戏技术来增强网络挑战竞赛的理解，参与因素和招募影响（C3）。该项目旨在通过设计可视化和演示技术来应对C3参与挑战，这些技术已证明在电子竞技联赛中非常成功。该项目将证明如何使用高参与性可视化层进行网络安全人才招聘的高级可视化层。该项目有可能增加学生和研究人员社区参与网络挑战学术比赛。它将从电子竞技比赛中实施关键的创新和经验教训，作为可视化框架的潜在设计替代方案。通过增加C3的兴趣和影响，它将有助于识别和吸引才华横溢的人。提高C3活动的参与者和观众的经验有可能增加对网络安全行业的兴趣，促进网络安全到更大的人才库，并降低人们对该领域感兴趣的年龄。目前，电子竞技事件在少数群体中比C3事件吸引了更广泛的追随者。该项目旨在将C3事件的吸引力增加对年轻和更广泛的受众的吸引力，并了解抑制女性和少数学生参与与网络安全有关的领域的特定因素。该项目的目的是识别和发展关键的网络安全技能。当前一代C3事件中采用的参与策略和人直觉呈现方法似乎吸引了已经获得了网络安全兴趣的人。提出的网络攻击和防御系统类似3D游戏的可视化可能会导致对未来威胁分析环境的运行增强。该项目将主要集中于在快节奏的计算机攻击和防御竞赛中对复杂数据展示的理解。该项目的系统设计将纳入人类计算机互动（HCI）研究社区的观点和先前研究，包括抽象，人口统计学和性别吸引力，直观的偶像学和视觉认知负载管理。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识优点和广泛影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
