<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Open OnDemand project team (openondemand.org) and NVIDIA (nvidia.com) have been collaborating for many years on improvements and additions to the Open OnDemand platform to facilitate research computing providers
ability to meet the needs of their clients.<br>
<br>
In recent years, consumer level virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices have become widely adopted in many fields and sectors, including entertainment, healthcare, and education. Amongst the most common devices are those from Oculus, HTC, Microsoft,
and Sony.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Open OnDemand and NVIDIA teams are considering some VR/AR software development work that will provide new user interfaces via Open OnDemand to research computing resources (e.g. high performance computing / HPC, storage, etc). We would
like to get an understanding of whether any such interfaces already exist and what the potential interest from clients are in such interfaces.<o:p></o:p></p>
