Once again, TTI/Vanguard is honored to have one of our Washington, D.C.-area members hosting us for a field trip. At the University of Maryland, we will visit four research facilities:

•        The Space Systems Lab’s Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility, which houses a 50'-diameter, 25'-deep neutral buoyancy tank, is one of two such facilities in the country and the only one worldwide sited at a university. We’ll stay dry while learning about astronaut enclosure and space robotics research.
•        The Augmentarium, UMD’s AR/VR research facility—with its 64-camera motion-capture array, headsets, and large-scale displays—explores strategies for immersive training in lifesaving procedures, language learning, and as a therapy to distract from pain.
•        The Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices has 3-D-printing technologies as one of its many capabilities, with printers fabricating implants from stainless steel, flexible plastics, and cell-infused materials, as well as the on-premises generation of bespoke orthodontic braces or casts for broken limbs.
•        The Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Lab concentrates on the analysis of ground transportation data and is the largest such effort nationally with more than 7.5B unique measurements ingested every day. We will learn how the lab uses the data it collects and its graphics capabilities to follow an incident from the 9-1-1 call onwards, tracking the arrival of emergency vehicles, residual bottleneck traffic, and resultant activity at the trauma center.
