EML’s First Online Showcase – September 2020
The Emerging Media Lab proudly presents our showcase of summer and spring projects, detailing the whys and hows from faculty and developers!
In the memory of our late colleague, Kirk Karasin, Former EML Supervisor.
The landscape of the classroom is changing. Check out how the Emerging Media Lab is innovating educational tools with emerging tech like VR/AR. Learn about our projects from the creators themselves, from ideation to prototype and beyond.
Believe tech is limited to the hard sciences? Think again! We have projects collaborating with the department of music, theatre, languages, and more. Whatever you are interested in, you’re invited to celebrate our accomplishments and connect with our community!
