The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the ability for both companies and municipalities to more quickly and easily find insights inside their large geospatial datasets. Existing 2D-based tools have struggled to keep up with the demands of modern datasets. Within the targeted industries, the result of this project will accelerate the deployment of next-generation 5G networks, help improve situational awareness during capacity and emergency planning, and allow for the real-time monitoring of large-scale infrastructures like utility grids. Additionally, local, state, and federal governments will gain a greater understanding of their data with minimal additional training or staffing costs, leading to more effective and impactful policy decisions.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses three critical challenges faced when working with geospatial data: volume, variety, and accessibility. Geospatial information is often bulky and created faster than it can be processed. Further, GIS data comes in many different formats that aren't inherently compatible and is siloed so much that collaboration is difficult. The objective of this research is to enhance a non-technical person's ability to search for, find, and communicate insights. Specifically, this project fuses immersive display technologies with advanced visualization techniques to form a new type of data experience. Using virtual reality, a user will be able to load large, complex geospatial datasets and explore them naturally. The anticipated technical result will be a proof-of-concept application that allows someone to literally step inside their data, discover hidden meanings, and invite others to share the same experience and takeaways.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.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）I阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是公司和市政当局都可以更快，更轻松地在其大型地理空间数据集中找到见解。 现有的基于2D的工具一直在努力跟上现代数据集的需求。 在目标行业中，该项目的结果将加速下一代5G网络的部署，有助于提高容量和紧急计划期间的情境意识，并允许对公用电网等大型基础设施进行实时监控。 此外，地方，州和联邦政府将通过最少的额外培训或人员配备成本更加了解其数据，从而实现更有效和有影响力的政策决策。本小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第I阶段项目解决了处理地理空间数据时面临的三个关键挑战：数量，品种和访问性。地理空间信息通常是庞大的，并且创建的速度比可以处理的速度更快。 此外，GIS数据具有许多不同的格式，这些格式并非固有地兼容，并且很难孤立，因此很难协作。 这项研究的目的是增强非技术人员搜索，查找和传达见解的能力。 具体而言，该项目将身临其境的展示技术与先进的可视化技术融合在一起，以形成一种新型的数据体验。 使用虚拟现实，用户将能够加载大型，复杂的地理空间数据集并自然探索它们。 预期的技术结果将是概念证明的应用程序，它使某人可以从字面上介入数据，发现隐藏的含义，并邀请其他人分享相同的经验和外卖。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
