The Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts (IDIA Lab) at Ball State University explores the intersection between the arts, sciences, and humanities. Founded in 2005, IDIA Lab has been designing scholarly, creative, teaching, and learning projects that investigate a wide variety of emerging technologies – including virtual reality, human-computer interface (HCI), augmented reality, mobile apps, interactive artworks, immersive environments, head-mounted displays, visualization, and 3D simulation. IDIA Lab was initially incubated through the Eli Lilly Endowment’s Digital Media Initiative as part of two generous grants to the University. IDIA Lab’s research facilities comprise five distinct labs: IDIA Lab, CAVE Lab, DOME Lab, HCI Lab, and SIM Lab, all of which work in concert with our partner, the Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL). The lab’s faculty, staff, and students develop projects in collaboration with a cohort of international clients in this innovative initiative that investigates the forefront of emergent design, expression, and learning.
