This project, developing a highly reconfigurable collaborative visualization instrument named Enodia, aims to support virtual reality (VR) and 2D content, and multiple interaction modalities (supporting very different physical display constellations) at the institution and within satellite nodes at several collaborating colleges and universities. Enodia operationalizes the idea that different activities call for different physical arrangements of tools, workspaces, and people for intensive research engagement with screen mediated content, especially for collaboration and communication-oriented research activities. It builds upon groundbreaking hybrid tangible multitouch and gestural interaction support and allows highly diverse room-scale display geometries to be reconfigured within minutes/seconds, flexibly driving many displays in diverse locations across several campuses (outreach partners). It also permits its compute cluster to be back-filled at lower priority.The approach allows for several large stage screens of the anchor visualization environment and multiscreen deployments at a flagship and several regionally and nationally distributed satellite locations (all driven by a single computer cluster) to be physically reconfigured in minutes and even seconds. These configurations include wall(s), nooks, architectural mockups, and room partitioning into multiple independent subareas, to support diverse scientific domains and use contexts. The prioritized, layered VM approach supports both local and distributed use, both of collaborative and independent nature.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.

该项目开发了一种名为 Enodia 的高度可重构协作可视化工具，旨在支持虚拟现实 (VR) 和 2D 内容，以及机构内和几所合作学院和大学的卫星节点内的多种交互模式（支持非常不同的物理显示星座） 。 Enodia 将这一理念付诸实践，即不同的活动需要不同的工具、工作空间和人员的物理安排，以便通过屏幕媒介内容进行深入的研究参与，特别是针对协作和交流导向的研究活动。它建立在突破性的混合有形多点触控和手势交互支持的基础上，允许在几分钟/秒内重新配置高度多样化的房间规模显示几何形状，灵活地驱动多个园区（外展合作伙伴）不同位置的许多显示器。 它还允许其计算集群以较低的优先级回填。该方法允许锚定可视化环境的多个大型舞台屏幕以及旗舰店和多个区域和国家分布的卫星位置的多屏幕部署（全部由单个计算机集群驱动） ）在几分钟甚至几秒钟内即可进行物理重新配置。这些配置包括墙壁、角落、建筑模型和划分为多个独立分区的房间，以支持不同的科学领域和使用环境。优先、分层的 VM 方法支持本地和分布式使用，既支持协作性质，也支持独立性质。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
