Sound and Music for interactive media applications has been explored in teaching and research at Abertay University since the launch of our distinctive Computer Arts degree n 1999. Today, our researchers are operating at the forefront in dynamic audio production for applications including games, immersive experiences, installations, and performances.
Research can explore both practical and theoretical approaches to Sound and Music. Particular strengths at Abertay include synthesis, integration of dynamic audio within game engines and technologies, and exploration of sound design within virtual and augmented reality.
Research in this area benefits from the facilities of the Emergent Technology Centre and adjacent Recording Studio. Specialist audio labs, recording equipment, and software are also available for researchers interested in the development, installation and testing of interactive audio.
Abertay University is the lead partner for InGAME: Innovation for Games and Media Enterprise, an AHRC-funded R&D centre for Dundee's games cluster. Postgraduate students at the University will have access to research and development opportunities, as well as contact with professionals working within the games industry. Dundee is one of the UK's oldest and most successful games hubs, and we have longstanding relationships with local, national and international game studios.
