The Computational Media Innovation Centre (CMIC) aims to enhance New Zealand’s interactive media ecosystem through user-oriented academic research.
We collaborate with industry experts, including major international media organizations in areas such as VR/AR, film, animation, special effects, and gaming technologies.
The center provides an incubation space and prototyping staffs to further develop research ideas for transfer to practice via startups or licensing.
