Celebrating Creativity | SIM Centre
In September of 2014, the SIM Centre partnered with The Next Big Thing Foundation, an initiative connected with Hootsuite that supports a group of 10 young entrepreneurs forming companies in the area of disruptive technology and/or social innovation. The S3D Centre and the 3D Innovation Center (3DIC) in Berlin, Germany became partners in late August 2014. Both institutes have a rich history in stereoscopic 3D, virtual reality and advanced imaging projects and expertise, which will lead to sharing of research and resources; collaborations; co-presentations; advocating for academic, business and personal adoption of advanced imaging tools and concepts, visual and immersive technologies; and, possible future student exchanges.
Back in November 2013, Western Economic Diversification announced Federal Government funding of $595,000 to support research at Emily Carr in order for us to stay relevant and competitive in the film, health and advanced materials sectors through the purchase of state-of-the-art motion capture, post-production, and 3D prototyping equipment. Late in November of 2012, Emily Carr joined an esteemed global network dedicated to the field of 3D as a founding member of the first Canadian Chapter of the International 3D Society, to be based in Vancouver.
As 2014 draws to a close, we would like to take a moment and reflect on the many highlights from the past year. Each day, from now until December 22, we will share stories of outstanding accomplishments from the Emily Carr community. Celebrate with us and share in the spirit of creativity!
