Description | We have developed techniques for distributed application debugging using message hashing. This is allowing us to develop new methods for analysing distributed applications that have very tight time delays. We have developed a testbed for understanding synchronisation at low latencies in tightly coupled distributed simulations. We have developed novel software for controlling certain robots that we will test over our network. We have developed a novel networking protocol that provides a broad functionality and is a superset of techniques previously used in virtual environments. We have made some of our tools available as open source (Ubiq: https://github.com/UCL-VR/ubiq) |
Exploitation Route | We are planning to make our infrastructure available for testing. We made our novel networking testbed available as open source. |

Description | VR Club |
Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an open day or visit at my research institution |
Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
Geographic Reach | Regional |
Primary Audience | Public/other audiences |
Results and Impact | We run a montly open afternoon in our laboratories. Approximately 20-40 people attend each month, with attendees ranging from students at UCL, staff at UCL, through to general public, including company representatives, who had requested demonstrations. This furthered several small collaborations with industry and artists. |
