Building an Open Academic Cyberspace
summary
ARNO is a UE5-based global digital twin that becomes a system-agnostic XR-ready tool for academics, built to run on Kubernetes with Agones, custom EGL‑SELKIES desktop containers, Unreal pixel streaming and S3-compatible storage. The platform already federates sites worldwide, exposes device inventory via NetBox, and runs on roughly 775 GPUs and 11,000 CPU cores (scaling to >1,000 GPUs), streams to HoloLens and Quest prototypes, is open source, and the prototype workflow and multiplayer viewer demonstrably work.
