​Stony Brook University's Reality Deck, located in the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT), offers an immersive 1.6-billion-pixel virtual reality experience. Designed by Dr. Arie Kaufman, the Reality Deck serves as a training ground for high school students interested in computer programming and visual computing. In collaboration with kidOYO®, a nonprofit organization focused on computational literacy, local high school students are mentored by Stony Brook PhD candidates. The program aims to inspire students, particularly from underrepresented groups, to pursue careers in computer science and related fields. Through hands-on experiences, students develop skills in coding, research, and immersive technologies like augmented and virtual reality. The initiative not only enhances technical abilities but also fosters a passion for innovation and problem-solving among the next generation of technologists.
