About Orlando

Orlando is built around Walt Disney World, but the region also holds the largest concentration of military modeling-and-simulation companies in the country, tied to the training commands based nearby — theme-park engineering and defense simulation share more underlying technology than the two industries' public images suggest. UCF, one of the largest universities in the U.S. by enrollment, anchors both sides of that work, including its photonics research.
