Danger Room

Related: Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters

Located in the Xavier Institute's sub-basement, the Danger Room contains four high-capacity computers that generate room-filling, 32-bit color images at 300 gigabytes per second, creating hard-light laser constructs of anything imaginable that are virtually indistinguishable from reality. Mobile laser cluster heads are moved over the Room’s surface to facilitate the placement of gravity lenses and associated effects, allowing for the creation of solid surfaces by means of accurate surface texture modeling laid on polygonal surfaces formed by overlapping a series of lenses. Extensive modeling programs allow for a great variety of realistic environments, as well as atmospheric and dust effects, while realistic wind and exhaust effects are created by using progressed waved tractor beams. Projected pinpoint gravity lenses allow simple laser beams to be redirected as other light sources, with acoustic engines providing accurate noise level and frequencies. Projectiles are composed of rapidly moving, tightly-focused pressor beams. The Room’s World View Model Library has digital models of over 50 million objects and their attributes, including weapons, vehicles, buildings, and aliens.

The Observation Room rests atop the Danger Room and has a glass-like see-thru floor where faculty and X-Men can keep an eye on those training down below. The Observation Room also hosts the Danger Room's main control panel. The Danger Room is mic-ed so that those in the Observation Room can hear what is going on in addition to simply viewing, which is important, should an observer be called upon to stop a simulation by Danger Room participants in the event of something going wrong.
