An embodiment provides a virtual reality experience by defining a model representing an object that includes experimental parameters. After defining the model, a model simulation is performed, using variations of the experimental parameters, that produces results for each of the one or more variations. The results include a value for a behavior of interest of the model for each of the variations. Next, the results are compressed to an interpolant comprising discrete polytope bins with continuous surrogates of the behavior of interest. Responsive to user provided values of the experimental parameters, a value of the behavior of interest is predicted using the interpolant. In turn, a virtual reality experience is provided by displaying to the user an effect on the model for the user-provided values of the one or more experimental parameters where the displayed effect on the model reflects the predicted value for the behavior of interest.
