Professorship Digital Media Concepts (DMC)

The central goal within the professorship Digital Media Concepts (DMC) aligns with ADE’s overall ambition: ‘To create an international educational and research environment where academics, industry professionals and students collaboratively develop innovative and relevant knowledge, expertise, and products in Digital Entertainment’. The key domain is the (national and international) top sector Creative Industries. The main learning goal is to be able to create and incorporate new digital media technologies from a management and creative perspective. The professorship has a focus on Virtual Reality (vr/ar/mr) in 2016-2020. We believe in the importance of ‘lean research’, testing while creating, using a media context viewpoint by means of the central program line ‘Contextual Connected Media’. Within this program we use media context as the guiding principle to measure, explore and understand the functionality and role of virtual reality. In doing so it provides a framework against which organizations can create virtual reality concepts and media strategies, designed to engage and reach audiences who do -or do not- move across different media platforms. Central goals: 1. To create and examine the effects of high quality worlds and characters in VR, 2. To better understand the role of virtual reality in the media context, 3. Examine the functionality and effects of VR within a media context, 4. Explore how we can use this context to connect virtual reality with other media (transmedia strategy).
