Multimedia Labs
The Office of Student Computing
Resources (OSCR) provides four
multimedia computer labs located around
campus. These multimedia
labs are places where UA students,
faculty and staff from any department or
college can go to develop multimedia
projects for instruction and class work
at no charge. Please see the
individual lab websites for a full list
of available hardware and software
tools.
Our multimedia location workstations are a mix of Macintosh and Windows computers. You'll find every sort of multimedia application here: programs to create 3D animations, virtual reality, complex websites, digital video movies, graphic designs and digital audio compositions, including the very high-end packages used today in Hollywood. The multimedia labs are staffed with knowledgable career staff and student multimedia consultants. Multimedia Learning Lab (MLL) (520) 621-9404 MapLocated in the Music building, room 137, the Multimedia Learning Lab is OSCR's flagship multimedia location. If you need assistance with your multimedia projects, the MLL has staff on duty to help you every step of the way. Faculty and Graduate Assistant Teachers: The MLL is available for reservation as a teaching classroom or as a multimedia lab for student class work. Specialty peripherals: If you need to convert your slides to computer images, convert your computer images to slides, turn your VHS or mini-dv tapes into DVDs, or scan large format images, the MLL is available to assist you with its specialty peripherals. We also have a wonderful digital audio/midi sound room with all the software and hardware you could wish for. Multimedia Zone (MZ) (520) 626-3993 MapLocated in the ILC Information Commons the Multimedia Zone is home to the UA's newest and hottest multimedia-development workstations. Here you'll find high-end multiprocessor Macintosh and Windows workstations loaded with the best programs available to create 3D animations, virtual reality spaces, digital video movies, and digital audio compositions. All workstations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Semester-long disk space is available is for class projects. The Multimedia Zone is open the same hours as the Information Commons in the Integrated Learning Center. MZ Hours MZ DetailsVirtual Reality (VR) Annex (520) 626-3007 MapLocated in the Computer Center, room 337, the VR Annex works closely with the Multimedia Learning Lab and the Learning Technologies Center and has equipment and staff to create both object and panorama virtual reality movies. The annex supports campus instructional and research endeavors. Semester-long disk space is available for class projects. Object movies are created when objects are photographically captured and turned into interactive computer objects that can be experienced three-dimensionally and shared without the original objects actually being handled. Several UA classes are using object movies so that students and researchers can gain virtual access to precious or fragile items that they would normally never be able to physically access. Panorama movies are created when real-world spaces are captured photographically and turned into worlds that can be navigated and explored on a computer. Panoramas are invaluable to students and researchers who wish to virtually visit places normally impractical or impossible to visit in person. The VR Annex is open from 11 am to 5 pm Monday thru Friday. Annex staff, resources, and virtual reality training are available by reservation only. VR Annex Hours VR Annex Details |
