Oblong Industries Inks Contract With NASA Aeronautics to Deliver Immersive Collaboration
Mezzanine(TM) by Oblong Will Connect Engineers and Researchers Across the U.S. to Help Propel Innovation at NASA's Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/15/16 -- , the developer of spatial operating environments for the new era of collaborative work, today announced it has been awarded a contract to equip NASA Aeronautics with , Oblong's proprietary immersive collaboration solution.
Mezzanine transforms meetings into visually engaging work sessions characterized by -- the immersive, content-rich experience that delivers a heightened level of real-time collaboration. The solution is designed to surround collaborators with vital data and interactive information from multiple sources to foster better decisions and faster innovation -- whether users are in the same room or spread across multiple locations.
In support of NASA's Transformative Aeronautics Concepts Program (TACP), Mezzanine will help facilitate the program's initiatives to cultivate multi-disciplinary, revolutionary concepts that drive aviation transformation. TACP creates the environment for researchers to experiment with new ideas, perform ground and small-scale flight tests, explore technology feasibility, and perform rapid iterations on viable concepts.
Mezzanine will specifically be used as part of the TACP Convergent Aeronautics Solutions (CAS) project. CAS teams merge traditional aeronautics disciplines with non-aeronautic advancements to realize new capabilities in commercial aviation.
"NASA embodies true innovation, and its TACP believes that basic aeronautics technologies can be revolutionized by allowing teams to work in dynamic environments," said Oblong founder and CEO John Underkoffler. "Our convictions are exactly analogous: Mezzanine was developed specifically to help innovators work together and solve problems difficult or impossible to address any other way. So we are honored to play a role in NASA's breakthroughs. When meaningful collaboration generates inspired outcomes, the world is the beneficiary. NASA is the perfect place for Mezzanine to accomplish this mission."
Oblong will install 10 Mezzanine systems across four NASA Aeronautics research centers: Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, and Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley's Moffett Field, California.
