Use LinkingGlass to teach network science. From the academic classroom to corporate leadership training, virtual reality increases learning and engagement far beyond traditional teaching methods. LinkingGlass facilitates self-directed learning and exploration of a host of different types of networks. It is a natural way to enable students and adult learners to comprehend network concepts and become network thinkers.
Epidemiology
Communicable diseases are transmitted via networks of interpersonal interaction and contagion. These networks can evolve in ways that speed or slow disease transmission. Virtual reality is a powerful tool for understanding and analyzing these dynamic networks and directing interventions to slow or stop spread. Virtual reality is also an effective method for teaching about epidemiological processes.
National Security & Terrorism
Terrorists and extremists organize in decentralized networks that evolve over time as activities are planned, coordinated, and implemented. Visualizing this changing network can reveal weaknesses and points of vulnerability. Exploring these networks helps analysts to understand them in new and novel ways. Dynamics visualization is also a powerful way of communicating key findings to technical and nontechnical audiences.
Organizations
Organizations are evolving networks of formal and informal connections. Use LinkingGlass to visualize and understand knowledge networks (who knows what). Analyze information flows and blockages. Use it to identify and alleviate collaboration overload. Analyze the extent to which your organization is diverse but not inclusive. Monitor the effect of organizational interventions meant to break down silos, build bridges, and make a more relationally inclusive network.
Supply Chain
Supply chains are networks of inbound and outbound movements of materials, parts, and products. Use virtual reality to visualize these dynamic networks. Zoom out to view the entire supply chain. Zoom in to identify key nodes and vital connections. Assess the temporal resilience of your supply chain.
