We research new concepts and technologies by collaborating and developing work. Here are some of our latest R&D projects
Ontologies for AI
Visioning Lab has recently launched a new project exploring the building blocks that make up generative AI tools, focusing in particular on ontologies (word libraries). We are looking for partners so if interested, please get in touch
FutureLAB
Visioning Lab run futures thinking workshops and projects aimed at stimulating the imagination to ask what is next, who is shaping it, how can under-represented groups play a role?
3D Flood Games project
Visioning Lab launched a collaboration with flood experts and technologies on how to incorporate real-life flooding data into 3D game/world building environments. We are interested in how 3D virtual models can support flood stakeholder decision making AND provide learning about flood events as entertainment.
The Flood Innovation Panel in West Yorkshire and the Crompton Moor network (First Choice Homes / Oldham Council / City of Trees / Friends of Crompton Moor) were case studies on the project.
AR experiences
Visioning Lab developed and launched PopupView, an augmented reality platform and app for aggregating and showing 3D digital assets and sound via phones and laptops.
Astrojacks Webtoon
Visioning Lab launched two webtoon series pilots, Astrojacks go back to war and Save the last plate for me as entries for the Webtoon.com Call to Action competition.
These pilot episodes showcase the story concept and invite interest from producers and directors to develop the idea further.
Digital Storytelling
Visioning Lab developed a series of soundwalks and digital trails telling the history and experiences of Northern England cultural producers
NFT Collection
Visioning Lab launched a NFT series on Known Origin, a popular digital art NFT platform
Artist collaborations: Speak to me, Speke Hall / Folklore trails at Chorlton Arts Festival
Visioning Lab collaborates with artists to use new concepts and technologies to develop their work
