RENCI@UNC-CH is a unique resource for the UNC campus.  An important feature of the engagement center is the group of powerful and unique visualization environments located in the ITS-Manning building on the South Campus.  The Showcase Dome, Teleimmersion, and the Social Computing room support the research and teaching misson of the University by providing a state-of-the-art venue for scientific visualization, new media and digital humanities, geospatial and geoinformatics research, bioinformatics and health sciences visualization, and advanced collaboration.

It is important to note that graphical display capabilities are a primary feature of each of the environments, however, each environment also has a wide range of audio/video capabilities, sensors and interaction devices of different types, and a flexible architecture that allows augmentation with additional audio/video, sensor, and robotic equipment to serve particular requirements of a collaboration.

RENCI@UNC-CH is pleased to provide tours of the visualization resources, and to work to enable the use of these spaces by the campus community in an effort to foster new research and learning endeavors.
