Digital Design Studio

The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is a research and postgraduate centre of Glasgow School of Art, specialising in 3D digital visualisation and interaction technologies.

Launched in 1997, the DDS was based at House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. In 2009, the DDS moved to a purpose-built facility at Pacific Quay, Glasgow which includes a high-definition 13mx8m stereo-projected display lab with full body and object tracking facilities.

The DDS has attracted major research funding from industrial partners such as Ford Motor Company USA,QinetiQ,BAE Systems, Thales, Fisher Defence, BBC Scotland and Shed Media, and Historic Scotland. The DDS also has secured research grants from the EPSRC; and NESTA;AHRC;Scottish Enterprise; the EU FP6&7, and an RCUK Academic Fellowship.

In 2010, in collaboration with NHS Education for Scotland, the DDS set up two networked research centres located in Inverness and Stornoway. The goal of these centres is to bring virtual medical training to areas of Scotland that struggle to gain access to traditional medical training resources. Each research centre is equipped with a passive stereo projection suite and a range of haptic devices in order to deliver medical training.
