Interactive Realities Laboratory

Dr. Glenn A. Martin is a Research Associate Professor and leads the Interactive Realities Laboratory, pursuing research in dynamic and adaptive virtual environments, including applications of virtual reality and game-based technology, and development of adaptive training tools (especially in after action review). In 2005 he was given a University of Central Florida Research Incentive Award (RIA) for his research in these areas, and he has twice been recognized as a "UCF Millionaire" for over $1 million in funding within a single year. He has published many papers and has supervised multiple millions of dollars in research projects from the DoD and area companies. He also works closely with the UCF Programming Team mentoring those students in various areas of computer science and team work, and has recently supported the college-level competitions by volunteering in various roles.

Austin is a full-time research faculty (Assistant in Simulation) within the lab where he leads effort supporting research in cyber range training, with a focus on automated testing. He has developed smoke tests of such a range as well as scalability testing to ensure capacity.

Greg is primarily an instructor at Full Sail University; however, he worked on the side here at the IRL supporting various digital media (digital assets) needed by the lab and supporting the lab in other various ways. His past experience includes creating graphics and promotions for a radio station group in South Florida and acting as a simulation database engineer at Lockheed Martin.

Andrew works part-time in the lab supporting development of automated test approaches of cyber ranges.

Mahlon is a graduate research assistant in the lab and focuses on automated testing approaches, including development and support of engines to support such testing. He is also currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Data Science program at UCF.

David is an undergraduate within the lab and is working on an augmented reality training project leveraging cutting-edge network technologies.
