A futuristic virtual environment centre, said to be the
only one of its kind in Europe and the most advanced in the world,
was officially launched at the University of Salford on 16 February
2007.
The Think Lab is aimed at harnessing leading IT developments to
solve current and future challenges of industry, commerce and the
community.
The lab is the first phase of an initiative sponsored by the
Higher Education
Funding Council for England to establish a technology research
centre that could "stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the
MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology] in the US", said David
Roberts, one of two scientific directors at the lab.
