SHIFT - Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies

SHIFT——沉浸式未来技术共享中心——将提供新的设施，将电影、声音和表演等学科的艺术家和研究人员聚集在一起，探索最新沉浸式工具和技术的潜力。SHIFT由三个互补的实践研究实验室组成：01 -[表演捕捉]-虚拟制作电影工作室-实时模拟背景前的表演和捕捉。通过高密度LED屏幕和实时运动跟踪技术，架起了真实与虚拟的桥梁。02 -[编辑和制作]- 32通道Ambisonic Sound Studio和VR实验室-用于创建和编辑沉浸式音景的高密度扬声器半球。03 -[沉浸式呈现]-数字沉浸式剧院升级-最先进的表演空间，将360度沉浸式投影、投影映射、环绕声音频、扩展照明、索具和数字基础设施结合在一起，创造一个灵活的多功能沉浸式表演空间。通过合作，来自电影、音乐、声音、戏剧和表演领域的实践研究人员将使用SHIFT来探索最新沉浸式工具和技术的潜力和局限性。通过我们的产出，我们将：[A]开发新的体验、表达形式，以及用新技术将人们聚集在一起的方式，以更好地理解和联系彼此和环境。[B]为电影、电视和戏剧这些新兴和不断发展的领域的研究和工作创造创新的培训资源，从而提高劳动力的技能，为专业实践提供前沿的、基于证据的指导。[C]通过实践研究艺术和人文学科框架对新的沉浸式和虚拟技术提供强有力的批判性反思。[D]从电影、音乐、声音和表演的互补角度出发，运用实践研究方法，探索现场/预录媒体、真实/虚拟空间和新沉浸式技术的潜力，在它们相交的地方寻找新的可能性。[E]共同努力减少人们生活中的不平等，并展示创造性艺术、文化和社会科学在理解人类状况的复杂性方面的重要性，因为它与福祉、社会正义、环境、可持续性和场所建设有关

SHIFT - Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies - will deliver new facilities that brings together artist-researchers across the disciplines of film, sound and performance to explore the potential in the latest immersive tools and technologies.SHIFT is made up of three complementary practice research laboratories:01 - [Performance Capture] - Virtual Production Film Studio - Performance and capture in front of real-time simulated backdrops. State-ot-the-art technology for bridging the real and virtual, via high-density LED screens and real-time motion tracking technologies. 02 - [Editing and Production] - 32 Channel Ambisonic Sound Studio and VR lab - High-density hemisphere of loudspeakers for the creation and editing of immersive soundscapes.03 - [Immersive Presentation] - Digital Immersive Theatre Upgrade - State-of-the-art performance space, bringing together 360 degree immersive projection, projection mapping, surround-sound audio, with extended lighting, rigging and digital infrastructure to create a flexible multi-functional performance space for immersion.Working collaboratively, practice based researchers from across film, music, sound, drama and performance will use SHIFT to explore the potential and the limitations of the latest immersive tools and technologies.Through our outputs we will: [A] Develop new experiences, forms of expression, and ways of bringing people together with new technologies to better understand and connect with one another and the environment. [B] Create innovative training resources for research and work in these emerging and growing areas of film, tv and theatre, thereby increasing skills in the workforce and providing cutting-edge, evidence-based guidance for professional practice. [C] Provide robust critical reflection upon new immersive and virtual technologies via a practice research arts and humanities frame. [D] Explore the liminal spaces of liveness/pre-recorded media, real/virtual spaces and the potential of new immersive technologies, applying practice research methods from the complementary perspectives of film, music, sound and performance to find new possibilities where they intersect. [E] Work collaboratively to reduce inequalities in people's lives, and demonstrate the significance of the creative arts, culture, and social sciences in understanding the complexity of the human condition as it relates to wellbeing, social justice, environment, sustainability and place-making
