Steven Feiner can recreate virtual life-sized archeological digs in his Columbia University office. His students, decked out in high-tech devices pluck 2-D images from computer screens and turn them into floating 3-D artifacts that can be rotated and manipulated.

Chris Barrett creates large-scale simulations of deadly viruses. His model tracks hidden paths of infection and sheds light on how best to contain an outbreak once it has begun.
