The Mixed Reality Lab

The Mixed Reality Lab (MRL) at the University of Nottingham is a dedicated studio facility where computer scientists, psychologists, sociologists, engineers, architects and artists collaborate to explore the potential of ubiquitous, mobile and mixed reality technologies to shape everyday life.

The MRL was first established in 1999 with £1.2M funding under the JREI programme and its facilities were updated in 2005 through a further £1M under SRIF 2. The laboratory is currently home to over fifty academics, research associates and PhD students who are undertaking a wide ranging programme of research into mixed reality and its applications. Between 2000 and 2007, the MRL was the lead partner in EPSRC's Equator IRC, a £10M, eight partner, initiative exploring the interweaving of physical and digital interaction for everyday life.

PhD studentship opportunity - Reactive Environments

Print PDF

The School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham invites applications for 3 PhD studentships. We would like to hightlight the opportunity to do research in the area of Reactive Environments, one of a number of areas on offer. Reactive Environments are those computationally-augmented environments that are driven by data derived from the activity of inhabitants, the environment and objects present. At various scales, they take the form of rooms, buildings and entire urban environments and are designed to be entered and inhabited, while the time scale of such inhabitation can vary widely.

Please find full project details here: http://www.mrl.nott.ac.uk/~hms/ReactiveEnvironments.html

Transforming the way we live in Digital Britain

Print PDF

A new £40m research centre at The University of Nottingham will develop digital technology to transform modern living.

The Horizon Digital Economy Research Hub centre, one of three announced on April 29 by Lord Drayson, Minister for Science and Innovation, will help to connect people with digital technology to radically improve the way we live, work, play, and travel to ensure that everyone is included in the digital future.

The University of Nottingham centre will develop new ways to use the electronic ‘footprints’ we leave behind whenever we use mobile, internet and other digital technologies, and new ways to utilise digital technologies to help business and stimulate economic growth.
