Florida’s Technological University
The immersive technologies that simulate worlds and redefine entire industries are built across disciplines, not within them. UCF has been working this way for decades, training students and building the partnerships that shape what’s next.
Redefining Industries
Immersing Us Into New Worlds
No Margin for Error: The most high-stakes work people do, from innovative surgery to emergency landings, has to be simulated before it happens.
She Built the Field: Carolina Cruz-Neira invented the CAVE in 1992, the immersive VR system now used by NASA, the U.S. military, automotive manufacturers and research labs around the world.
Defining What’s Next: From her lab at UCF’s Institute for Simulation and Training, she’s developing humanoid robots that extend immersive systems into places humans can’t reach, from disaster zones to deep space.
Training Across Disciplines
Where Performance Meets Engineering
Innovation Onstage: When a Broadway musical opens at the Dr. Phillips Center, the spotlight rarely falls on the engineering department.
A Cross-Campus Cast: During UCF’s 2026 production of Legally Blonde, musical theatre majors Mia Freeman and Isabel Ramos played engineering students walking robot dogs from a UCF robotics lab — a collaboration between theatre and engineering.
How We Teach: The Legally Blonde collaboration started in two different colleges. UCF teaches students with an interdisciplinary mindset — because that’s where real innovation is born.
Embedded in Industry
A Partnership Years in the Making
Reinventing the Guest Experience: The future of hospitality, themed entertainment and immersive experiences is being built where the industry already lives.
A New School, Together: UCF and Universal Destinations & Experiences are launching the Universal School of Experience Leadership and Innovation — backed by a $10M investment. It’s the world’s only dual-school model in hospitality and experience management.
Built on Decades of Leadership: Anchored by Rosen College’s four decades of hospitality expertise and UCF’s nation-leading modeling and simulation, this partnership accelerates the cross-disciplinary work UCF has been leading all along.
