Engineering Meets Extreme Reality

In the wake of the Fern Hollow Bridge collapse, Metro21 faculty member Yang Cai, who has been developing technologies for first responders, advocates for "extreme reality engineering," which entails creating innovative technology that can operate under some of the worst conditions imaginable.

“Extreme Reality can transform our knowledge about reality technologies. Instead of building a virtual world, we must perceive reality, react to reality, and survive in a livable world,” says Cai.
