In this issue of OMNIA, our cover story, “Perception is Reality—and Virtual Reality,” focuses in on a visual technology that promises to have a significant impact on research and everyday life. In “The Past, Present, and Future of Human Migration" our experts tackle questions about immigration and global inequality. And our alum piece, “A Summer Like No Other,” features prior interns from the RealArts @ Penn program, who give us an idea of the kind of impact the program had on their lives and careers.
