DAE‘s Trans Realities Lab is a space for the past, present and future; one that transcends realities, disciplines and perspectives. The Trans Realities Lab (TRL), imagined and developed by Dr Biscoe and his research team, is a hybrid digital environment for research, and a space for students to engage with research facilities, and approaches informed by the exploration of new technologies. Increasing complexities in digitally mediated and hybridised realities presents both challenges and opportunities to traditional modes of user interaction and navigation. The lab supports practical and theoretical approaches to testing new roles for the designer.
