Creative Technologies Lab (CT Lab)

Description

The Creative Technologies Laboratory (CT Lab) is an interdisciplinary research entity crossing the fields of computer science and creative arts. The group's objective is to develop and evaluate intuitive human-technology interfaces that augment human perception and creative expression.

In graphics, visualisation, and games, they use innovative graphical processing algorithms for image enhancement and virtual environment creation. A principal interest is serious gaming and extended realities, utilising the effectiveness of gaming technologies for interactive visualisations in scientific and artistic settings.

In embodied and immersive interaction, the group investigates user-centred interaction design and aesthetics, with emphasis on artistic and human aspects. Applying robust design and evaluation methodologies, they devise unique, interactive and immersive systems and artworks exhibited in renowned cultural venues worldwide.

The artificial intelligence theme pertains to the development and application of AI and Machine Learning systems for synthesising virtual environments and interaction dynamics. Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Graph Theory are employed to generate and comprehend imagery and design tasks.

In sound and visual arts, the group merges traditional and modern production techniques to explore technology for sound design, composition and performance. They focus on using generative algorithms and innovative interfaces for musical expression, spatialisation, and immersion.
