-===== Overview =====
-KAUST PhD student, Ali Alibrahim, presented a poster at the 12th International Cretaceous Symposium in Leibniz University, Hannover, Germany from August 31 - September 5, 2025. The symposium takes place once every 4 years and covers the latest advances in Cretaceous geological research combining topics from sedimentology, paleontology and geochemistry. Ali presented a poster entitled "Micro-CT and Holographic Imaging of Late Cretaceous Benthic Foraminifera in Saudi Arabia" which was joint work with KVL on imaging and visualization of foraminifera samples.
+At the 4th Workshop on Immersive Visualization Laboratories, held during the IEEE VR 2026 Conference, Staff Scientist Ronell Sicat presented an overview of the KAUST Visualization Core Lab (KVL) and shared recent success stories that demonstrate how immersive visualization can extend beyond traditional, laboratory‑bound settings.
-KVL scientist Ronell Sicat developed the holographic visualization app that runs on the HoloLens 2. This app allows users to visualize 3D models of foraminifera as well as to intuitively interact, e.g., via slicing/clipping, with the data to reveal internal patterns that are typical of fossils.
+As KVL transitions from a small number of large‑scale immersive systems toward a broader deployment of head‑mounted display (HMD)–based systems, the lab has adopted flexible frameworks that enable applications to be easily ported between CAVEs and HMDs, maximizing the strengths of both platforms. In parallel, KVL has evolved to provide AI expertise to its users, often uncovering unique research opportunities in immersive visualization projects rich in image data.

+KVL continues to innovate in immersive storytelling and collaborates closely with domain scientists to create compelling research communication experiences that engage and benefit the broader community. While some of the lessons shared in this presentation may not be revolutionary, the goal is to highlight how KVL continuously learns, adapts, and innovates to remain relevant within a rapidly evolving research landscape—and to inspire other visualization laboratories to do the same.
