The Indiana University Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL), part of the Visualization and Analytics directorate within the Research Technologies division of UITS, serves as a university-wide resource for visualization technologies, virtual reality and interactive experiences, and advanced digital arts and media. The AVL collaborates with IU students, faculty, and staff to promote the innovative application of advanced visual technologies in research, education, art, and community outreach. AVL staff maintain and provide open access to a variety of advanced visualization hardware and software resources, and share their expertise through a range of consulting, development, and outreach services to support researchers, educators, students, and artists across all departments on every IU campus.

AVL resources include high-end graphics workstations and clusters, projection-based virtual reality devices, very high resolution displays, special-purpose volume-rendering hardware, haptic display devices, and tools for teleconferencing and electronic collaboration. The AVL welcomes partnerships with researchers and educators from all IU departments and campuses.
