Visualization & Sensors Lab
The Visualization & Sensors Lab (VSL) is a unique environment that supports projects requiring data collection (via sensors or other data collection mechanisms) culminating in high quality reporting and visualizations solutions, such as digital twinning or high-fidelity simulations.
The VSL is supports a wide variety of projects with industry, including software systems, data analytics, machine learning and AI-related solutions design, prototyping and testing, sensor and electronics design/integration and high impact visualization solutions.
Through contributions by both Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund, we have the following equipment located within the VSL.
Large format flat panel displays (8K resolution)Highly detailed visualizations, simulations, SCADA, digital twinning Electronics design and test equipmentDevelop custom sensor systems for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), embedded systems hardware, electronic product validation and testing |
