ED-ME Lab - Laboratory for Environmental Design and Multisensory Experiences

The laboratory offers a physical space in which to develop and undergo experiences of digital, multimedia and multi-sensory worlds; a space where a relationship between virtual and physical objects, material objects, objects provided with sensors, etc. can possibily be created. Owing to the technologies available in the dedicated space, in fact, we can visualize and create experiences that are not just visual, but also auditory, tactile, olfactory and synesthetic.

The laboratory offers a chance to conduct studies involving complex activity simulations and multi-sensory interactions in various sectors, such as design, biomedicine, environmental simulation, rehabilitation, learning and entertainment.
