Behaviourables & Futuribles: the Internet of Things, remote sensors, robotics, Props & Wearables –  (everywareables?).
Interactive & Immersive Environments: The digital Umwelt  – new experiences in enhanced physical, augmented & virtual spaces.
Ludic Systems: Playful subversion – real-time social gaming and playful soft-hard-ware.

Postgraduate Research

i-DAT’s research themes & projects provide a rich context for {F/T| P/T, local | remote} research students, from a variety of disciplines, who can engage with these initiatives and build research activity grounded in their creative practice… 
i-DAT nurtures a vibrant, networked, transdisciplinary research community...
... it is entangled with an international network of researchers, practitioners, communities, projects, and symposia...
... is frequently infiltrated by professional digital artists and designers...
.. and equally infectious to real-world interdisciplinary projects and collaborations.
