The CURVES project developed an ultra high resolution virtual environment system with an 8K curved panorama screen using multi-facet LCD/IPS screens. It was started by the Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation in 2012 to promote scientific research and development in space exploration. Some of CSEO's projects include a planetary exploration system using wireless sensors to study Mars, a stratospheric platform for Earth monitoring, a cubesat constellation, and a robotic observatory to detect near-Earth objects. CSEO is building international collaborations with companies, government agencies, and research institutions from countries including the US, Russia, UK, France, Germany, and more.
