METIL was founded by Dr. David Metcalf in 2006 at the University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation & Training. Since then METIL has partnered with leaders from Industry, Academia, and the Military to create resources and develop innovative solutions with mobile technology and Web 2.0 applications.

METIL relies on an experienced research team comprised of doctoral and post-doctoral fellows who in turn manage dozens of graduate and undergraduate students in the fields of Computer Science, Digital Media, Internet Interactive Systems, and Learning & Cognition. Leveraging the resources of one of the largest universities in the United States, METIL is able to provide research & development expertise for our partners in the public, private, and social sectors.
