Animation Research Lab
Laboratory of Visual Ethnographers, Animation Research Lab (ARLab), is a research & practice based model in which one can figure out the possibilities of using animation with its artistic endless potential and possibilities. This model emphasizes on the ethnographic approaches of cultural construction and interpretation, biographies of objects, participatory approaches etc. of tribes and inguinal communities. Besides research-based ethnographies, we investigate the artistic possibility of animation techniques to measure user performance & acceptance in variety of research domain like edutainment, heritage construction, animatronics, gamification, healthcare and architecture
