CERN: European Laboratory for Particle Physics
VENUS: Virtual Environment Navigation in the Underground Sites
"VENUS is one of the World's most ambitious Virtual Prototyping projects. Its task is to simulate in Virtual Reality CERN's future Particle Accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, probably the most complex machine ever created by mankind. Building LHC will require ten years, over two billion dollars, twenty thousand man years and the help of more than three hundred different research institutes and contractors spread over the world."

VIRART: Virtual Reality Applications Research Team
VIRART has been involved in the development and
testing of virtual environments for students
with severe learning difficulties for the last
four years. The primary testing for this work
has been the Shepherd School in Aspley,
Nottingham. VIRART has also been involved with
industrial applications of virtual
environments for planning and simulation,
design, operations assistance, and training.
