| This lab focuses on advanced digital design environments including geometric modeling, interactivity, scripting languages and virtual reality. The lab is fitted out with a full Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) suites. Interactive Digital Media is explored using scripting capabilities in Maya, Action Scripting and Rhino and include a full set of ceiling mounted cameras, blob tracking devices and projection systems for full scale performative environment studies. Three dimensional scanning technologies are explored using a wide array of devices including a Cyrax - Lidar type scanner and a Roland DGA LPX – 250. Touch Probe Scanning and reverse engineering is also possible using the MicroScribe-G2LX. Non-Linear digital video editing is achieved on 2 dual G-5 Macintosh systems hosting a full Final Cut Pro software suite and DVD Authoring tools. The lab is equipped with a 25 seat Virtual Reality Theater, with rear projection stereoscopic projection systems, haptic gloves, head mounted display and full VR Eon Reality scripting suite.
