Building clarity into the heart of environmental research

At the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, the challenge is not a lack of data. It is making sense of it. From geothermal systems to water management and climate adaptation, the questions UFZ works on are layered, spatial and often difficult to grasp in two dimensions. To support this, UFZ relies on a new Barco-powered VisLab environment designed to turn complex datasets into something tangible. Instead of looking at charts or flat renderings, models become immersive environments and users step into the data itself.
