ACS Visualization Lab Overview

The AR Creation Studios (ACS) Visualization Lab is a black-box room offering approximately 180 degrees of immersive projection on a curved, fixed projection screen measuring 7 feet tall by 38 feet wide with the availability to duplicate projected images onto monitors external from the Lab. The Visualization Lab is a space to create and present immersive scholarship, communicate research, conduct active-learning workshops, and facilitate a variety of activities.

As part of the Experiential Learning department's AR Creation Studios, the audio recording studio is co-located near other ACS creative technology spaces within the "ARK" on Level 2. This thoughtful design emphasizes Mullins Library's commitment to supporting the collaborative, interdisciplinary teaching, learning, and research occurring on the University of Arkansas campus.
