## Notice

GSMD are planning to establish a new Production Arts research facility in-house, in the increasingly important areas of digital performance and technologically enhanced immersive experience. A portable real-time tracking system capable of tracking objects and people in 3D space, suitable for use with projection and lighting technology will help carry out a series of creative research projects. GSMD research environment has grown rapidly; Production Arts is the one main area where lack of technological capability has so far held it back. In the increasingly important areas of digital performance and technologically enhanced immersive experience in particular, GSMD lack the necessary infrastructure. Planning is underway to establish a new Production Arts research facility in-house. This development will build on our existing extensive range of partnerships with small and medium-sized companies working in the UK creative industries, as well as with selected HE research partners. It will involve using existing spaces within our buildings to deploy largely portable state-of-the-art equipment to explore the research potential of visual effects and extended reality (XR, incorporating, variously, hyper-, augmented and virtual reality). We will use this equipment to carry out a series of creative research projects that explore technology's role in the future of production artistry. This will help: - provide access for performance makers and researchers inside the School to world-class technical facilities - facilitate access to the skills and knowledge of existing and additional industry partners, drawn in by the opportunity to benefit from our investment - establish a Performance Industry Centre for the Research and Application of Creative Technologies. - grow our research collaborations and exchanges with industry and other HEIs - internal collaboration between the Research department, Guildhall Live, and the new Electronic and Produced Music
