University Research
Emily Carr University has recently launched Intersections Digital Studios, a research facility that is unique in Canada. Students and faculty have access to new state-of-the-art equipment such as a motion capture studio for research in animation, ergonomics and interactive entertainment, a CNC machine for cutting prototypes in new shapes and forms, thermal printers, spatial, full-body and flatbed scanners for work in 2D and 3D, a Bailey kiln for proto-typing in ceramics and industrial design, digital HD video cameras, and an Apple Xserve server system for high speed rendering, as well as the more traditional resources available at the University.
In November 2009, Emily Carr University teamed up Lucasfilm spinoff, Kerner Studios, announced the establishment of a stereoscopic 3-D research studio.
These dynamic technologies will significantly expand the capacity for creative exploration, experimentation and innovation. This unique research facility provides a flexible environment where researchers with specialized knowledge in art, design and technology can collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or research:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
