Overview

Digital Design Studio
Glasgow School of Art

The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is a postgraduate research and commercial centre of Glasgow School of Art. Its intense learning and research environment exploits the interface between science, technology and the arts to explore imaginative and novel uses of advanced 3D digital visualisation and interaction technologies. Research activity at the DDS is underpinned by one and two year masters degrees and a growing Ph.D. community.

The DDS is dedicated to developing ways in which people can engage and interact with data and emerging digital visualisation systems. Learning, research, commercialisation and knowledge transfer in the DDS is therefore not characterised by traditional subject areas but concentrates on the ways in which computer tools and interfaces can be developed for visualisation and improved human computer interaction across the arts and sciences. The uniqueness of the DDS lies in its ability to take leading edge technologies and apply them in novel and imaginative ways to stimulate new business growth as well as create new knowledge and lower access barriers to technology.

Its imaginative use of technology provides solutions to specific research questions and commercial challenges. DDS research and commercial activities have established a valuable IP portfolio and provide licensing income and spin-out opportunities. These activities are well aligned with the Scottish Executive and Scottish Enterprise strategies for a "Smart Successful Scotland".
