In December of 2018, the University of Southern California’s MEML (Mobile & Environmental Media Lab) collaborated with its industry partners to launch EMOVAC, the Emotion Modeling Operational Variable Automatic Computer.
Utilizing Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ Batman property, along with Intel’s networking and computing power, and AT&T and Ericsson’s 5G wireless data technology, MEML created an immersive mixed reality experience on the USC campus, set in the world of Batman. Over the course of four days, students and community members entered EMOVAC, hidden in an unused storefront at the USC University Village, and encountered their greatest fears.
