Facilities:
The ARTS Lab facilities include advanced systems for media production and performance. Our
Black Box includes one of the largest green screens in the area as well as an 8 camera Vicon
Motion Capture system. Also in the Black Box are an advanced theatrical lighting package and
immersive sound for performance and multimedia installations and presentations. The facility has
been home to countless video production shoots, presentations, software development jams,
research projects, music, dance and theatrical performances.
The ARTS Labs G-Dome is truly unique. The worlds first fulldome theater for research and pro-
duction purposes at a university, the G-Dome is a 15 diameter hemisphere with 6 projectors for
display of a wide variety of content, and the home to production of the annual (and global) Dome
Fest Fulldome Festival and content for Maya Skies and other fulldome productions. Additionally,
the G-Dome is being used for research on real- time display of immersive content as well as for
student classes and productions. DomeFest has screened in more than 12 countries and 20
US cities. In addition to these facilities, the ARTS Lab includes a media production suite and is co-
located with UNMs Center for Advanced Research Computing.
Laboratory:
The ARTS Lab also serves as both a physical and virtual hub for connecting the different facets
of New Mexicos Media community. As a key partner in New Mexicos Media Industries Strategy
Project (MISP), ARTS Lab has led the global Fulldome community through events like DomeFest,
helped launch the New Mexico chapters of the IGDA (Game Development) and SIGGRAPH (Ad-
vanced Graphics) as well as other organizations like AniMotion NM (Animation, Motion Graphics)
and the New Mexico Post Alliance (Post- Production). Many of these organizations meet regularly
at the ARTS Lab, venues like the annual DomeFest Fulldome Festival and New Mexico Media In-
dustries Conference, and through the MISP listservs and other venues online.

:: Tales of the Maya Skies :: art
ARTS Lab is world-renowned in fulldome film
production and research. The Labs team
co-produced Maya Skies, a major fulldome
film funded by the National Science Founda-
tion and now in international distribution.
This and other productions have created an
expertise in cultural media education and
training while also bringing federal dollars
into the Lab and the University brand into
theaters world-wide.

T :: Immersive Media Production ::ARTS Lab provides important educational opportunities for stu-
dents to work in new and alternative displays for media: From
Time Square to Las Vegas to Disney World to future living rooms,
moving images are being applied to many surfaces beyond stan-
dard screens and ARTS Lab is preparing students for this new
industry.

Ttechnology:: Fulldome Research and Production ::
The world comes to New Mexico to work with ARTS Labs team
and programs in the rapidly growing industry of large-format im-
mersive digital media (fulldome): More than 1000 people from
about 18 countries have traveled to Albuquerque to participate
in the Labs DomeFest Fulldome Festival. The festivals travel-
ing program has screened in more than a dozen countries and
20 major US cities. Lab staff have also received major external
support to present our programs at conferences and programs
around the US, in the UK, Australia, Germany and elsewhere.

T:: Science Visualization :: scienceScience is based in data but data often arent cogent, or even
understandable to the general public. Visualizing data and ideas
is a powerful way to both explore and explain research. ARTS Lab
works with scientists - and artists - to find ways to tell the stories
of science and invention through powerful pictures that can help
researchers advance their work as well as support educationalprograms to teach the next generations of scientists.
Image: A stylized visualization of a conceptual nanogear. Nano-
technology--creating machines and materials using molecules
as the building-blocks--is one of the most important advances in
science and a place where visualization is a key aspect for both
research and education.

both compelling and complicated. ARTS Lab works to support the
distilling and presentation data through visualization techniques.

TLab:: Community Building ::
The ARTS Lab serves as both a physical and virtual hub for con-
necting the different facets of New Mexicos Media community.
Located on the western edge of main campus, the Lab creates
a nexus between the Universitys faculty and students and the
greater community of younger students and media professionals.
The Labs staff work to promote and support both communities
by building public-private partnerships, co-beneficial programs and
simply as a gathering spot both physically in the Black Box and
virtually through its many Web-based programs.

TLab:: Promoting New Mexico ::
ARTS Labs unique programs and productions create opportunities to help
promote New Mexicos media industry and the Universitys media-based
educational and research programs. The Lab has spread the word globally
about whats happening locally through presentations at major international
media industry conferences such as SIGGRAPH and Eurographics, to major
festivals like SouthXSouthwest and the Adelaide (Australia) Film Festival, and
to regional gatherings like the Rocky Mountain Planetarium Society and the
Association of Science-Technology Centers.
Image: SIGGRAPH is most important film and digital media conference in the
world. ARTS Lab had the unparalleled opportunity to promote New Mexico
at SIGGRAPH 2005 when the conferences board of directors invited and
funded the Lab to install a temporary dome on the exhibit floor. More than
10,000 industry leaders experienced the Labs work.
