Scalable Metaverse Enabled Digital Twin Platform Year 1 of 3

Completed TRL 4 (started at 3, targeting 4)

Description

NASA's 1990’s workstation-based architecture in the MCC/MER is out of dated and not leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies, including immersive remote collaborative tools for monitoring and decision support.

Benefits

This project's goal is to develop a prototype of a Metaverse Enabled Digital Twin platform and assess enhanced situational awareness through collaboration, visualization, and simulation.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
