Entertainment Technology Center

There´s no doubt that the world of digital entertainment is here to stay. In addition, ongoing advances in computer technology will continue to expand not only the graphics palate of the medium but also the realm of imaginative, virtual experiences being offered to consumers. At Carnegie Mellon University´s Entertainment Technology Center, we focus on creating new entertainment technologies, venues and experiences that take advantage of developments in technical fields like computer science, while seeking ways to include the traditional dynamics of fine arts such as drama, story-telling, film and theater. As educators of entertainment technology, we´re continually asked to define our discipline. Our mission statement is “to provide leadership in education and research that combines technology and the arts to create new processes, tools and vision for story-telling and entertainment”
