25 years so far: Lessons from a Large Scale Immersive Visualization Facility using Web3D open standards! Virginia Tech's Director of Visual Computing, Nicholas Polys will reflect on the challenges and successes of providing cutting-edge immersive visualization facilities for a variety of academic users. Extensible 3D (X3D) is noted as a key element in their long-term strategy for data durability and access from CAVEs to the WWW to WebXR and Mobiles.

The program consists of a balanced mix of keynote talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions around the current state of immersive visualization labs, and the path forward. Topics of interest to the “Immersive Visualization Laboratory” workshop include:

• Success stories in research institutions and industry
• Not-so-successful stories in research institutions and industry
• Strategies for sustainability
• Scientific and visualization workflows for large-scale labs
