Supporting research projects at the nexus of the creative arts, design and human computer interaction
The Creative Computing Studio (CCS) features multi-modal interaction facilities, including Optitrack 12 camera full-body motion capture, Kinect Azure motion tracking, gesture recognition, voice recognition, virtual and augmented reality, and surround sound systems.
We were a founding partner of the Collaborative Embodied Movement Design Network, a project supported in part through the Australian Research Council's Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities fund, including research partners in Australia and internationally. Together with our partners, we developed a national collaborative network of arts/technology researchers, enabling collaboration to optimise the quality of these systems from an embodied perspective, creating innovative possibilities for fabrication, industry, commerce, education, health care and the creative arts.
Our areas of expertise and application development include:
- Interactive visual arts (interactive installations, virtual reality applications)
- Interactive performance environments
- Electronic literature
- Online and virtual pedagogy
- Architectural visualisation applications, including in cultural restoration projects
- Rapid prototyping and assembly
- History of image technologies.
Our facility is comprised of a 67 square metre dedicated area for human-computer interaction and is fully networked for live streaming between local and remote systems.
