The Digital Design
Studio
The Glasgow School of Arts
The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is driven by an ethos which ensures
that the DDS remains a special place to learn, work and do business. We
encourage our students and staff to "think out of the box". By
ensuring a true multi disciplinary mix, we actively promote new,
visions, perspectives, insights and knowledge. In essence we wish to
foster and fuse the creativity of Artists' with the intellectual rigour
of Scientists', with education fueling the desire for research and
knowledge.
I hope you enjoy learning more about our courses and research. We
welcome the opportunity of a dialogue, in which we can explore your
ideas and interests for our mutual benefit.
Welcome to the Digital Design Studio at The Glasgow School of Art.
-
On the MPhil 2D/3D Motion Graphics each student has their own
dedicated high performance workstation.
-
Academic backgrounds of students on the multi-disciplinary masters
include, Architecture, Astro-physics, Ceramics, English Literature,
Fine Art, Graphic Design, Marine Engineering, Marketing, Medicine,
Multi Media Technology, Photography, Physics, Product Design
Engineering, Psychology and Textiles & Fashion.
-
35% of our students are from overseas.
-
The student male /female mix is close to 50%
-
Our Research focuses on 3D real time interaction, Advanced
Visualisation, User Orientated Interfaces, Photo Realism &
Collaborative Working.
-
Research at the DDS has resulted in new paradigms of user
orientated interfaces, which includes advanced haptics, spatialised
sound and gesture interaction.
-
Our research is focused on application areas in the Automotive,
Architectural, Education, Medical, TV & Entertainment and Oil
& Gas Industries.
-
Our research is informed by a vision of Replacement Reality which
we define as:- The ability to interact with highly credible digital
models in a natural and intuitive manner, unencumbered by intrusive
equipment, using your senses of touch and hearing as well as vision
-
Our multi-disciplinary approach helped us to become the first Art
School to hold an EPSRC Research Grant.

LOCATION
& FACILITIES
The
Digital Design Studio is based in the picturesque Bellahouston Park in
the south side of Glasgow. The Studio is housed in the House For An Art

STUDIO
RESOURCES
The
resources deployed at DDS reflect the latest technologies in both
teaching and research facilities. Each Teaching Studio is equipped with
high-end 2D/3D graphics workstations, incorporating 3D modelling,
animation, compositing and editing systems that give a flexible and
functional workflow for students developing skills in these areas. A
Sound Editing Suite facilitates soundtrack creation and editing, with
Digidesign systems running ProTools and Waves software for full audio
playback, translation and mastering capability.
RESEARCH
TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATORS
The
DDS regularly organises research technology demonstrations.
Organisations wishing to explore the opportunities for fully funded or
collaborative research projects are encouraged to make contact for
exploratory discussions
OUR
CORE RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDE:
-
State
of the art CyberTouch and CyberGrasp devices that allow for touch
and force enabled applications with gesture-based control.
-
Polhemus
FASTRAK a realtime six-degrees-of-freedom tracking system that can
accurately pinpoint where a user's head & hands are in 3D space.
-
Multi-pipe
SGI Onyx2 systems allowing for high quality visualisation of complex
data in real-time.
-
Lake
Huron Workstation with a 16-channel speaker array providing the
capability to spatialise sound.
-
Large
scale immersive workbench and display wall both of which project 3D
images into space for the user to interact with.
