Overview

Digital media and technology provide significant opportunities to enhance every aspect of our lives and environments for a  healthier, happier and more productive life.

Success in the digital economy, however, is characterised by consumer/customer driven innovation and short time-to-market. These present significant challenges especially for small and medium size enterprises.

The mission of the Fused-Media Lab is to address and overcome these challenges, and to help enterprises succeed in the digital economy age by developing innovative products that enhance our lives and environments.

We aim to achieve this by offering know-how and facilities in bleeding edge technologies. The Fused-Media Lab includes the Technolife Grid (fused Technology-in-life) which is a test-bed for consumer/customer driven innovation.

Fused-media and the corresponding technolife grid can be exploited in a variety of applications to enhance our lives and environments including health, work, social networking, security, training, e-learning, creativity, consumer electronics, living environments, entertainment, prototyping, visualisation and so on.

Some of the existing projects include amongst others: e-learning in partnership with the National Space Centre, interactive volumetric visualisation in collaboration with Actuality (USA), and Technolife Grid in collaboration with Inition. 

If you like to know more about the lab and what we can offer, please do not hesitate to contact me.
