About the Outreach
Virtual Environment Technology is recognised as an emerging advanced technology with high growth prospects for the economy. A key benefit of using VETS technology is to reduce lead-time for new products and improve the quality of design. The project will offer services to support commercialisation and increase take-up of the technology (and better exploit the various funding mechanisms such as TCS, SMART) thereby enhance competitiveness, support spin out companies and product development.
