MISSION
The Laboratory for Digital Interaction reunites some of the top lines of current motion capture techniques. It is the first laboratory in Romania dedicated to studying interaction between physical and virtual bodies and thus between the human body and the computer.
The mission of the Laboratory for Digital Interaction is to integrate under this concept the activity of all CINETic laboratories, by developing complex innovative creative projects in research and development.
Combining digital art and live performance, such as acting and dance, is currently considered cutting edge in entertainment, but it will become the common form of art in the future. The fundamental concept of the Laboratory for Digital Interaction is the digital immersive experience.
UNATC has developed an MA in New Media Design which is focused on training professionals and researchers in this field.
