Overview
The ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ Centre for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (SCDHCH)
was established to facilitate an intersection between digital technology, the
arts and humanities, and cultural heritage. The Centre is a hub for creative
digital media, digital archiving, and cultural heritage research within ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ
University, collaborating with local and international partners in both physical
and virtual spaces. The SCDHCH has assembled a transdisciplinary team of
cultural heritage specialists, archivists, software developers, media
researchers, audiovisual specialists, education technologists, and creative
designers with extensive backgrounds in industry and education. Together, we
aim to develop applications and content to support digital humanities and
cultural heritage initiatives at ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ University and across the entire ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ
Group.
Mission
- To facilitate synergy in creative media arts and sciences, cultivating an innovative media research-creation environment
- To create significant transdisciplinary collaborations and catalyse new partnerships with key local and international centres, labs and institutes
- To motivate a new generation of students and researchers in the domain of creative digital media, merging core attributes of the arts,sciences, humanities, media and technology.
Research Areas
- Area 1: Post-Digital Media Research-Creation. This research theme bears a special relationship to the
rest as the focus and overall direction for content creation is based on this theme. - Area 2: Digital Heritage and Culture. This research theme is explored with the components of high fidelity image and sound capture, processing, post-production re-presentation and high definition-immersive display.
Research Facilities and Services
The Centre is equipped with digital media production equipment including audio/video recording devices, AR/VR equipment, 3D printers, Aerial Drones, workstations for editing/post-production/rendering, projectors for exhibition, and related software.

Innovative Collaboratory
Across the corridor from the SCDHCH lab is our innovative Collaboratory. This teaching-research-creation space is fitted with five HDMI inputs sourced to five 4K outputs for image and sound. Here one digital source can be presented across five screens or five sources can be sent to the five individual screens simultaneously, thus creating a truly experimental collaborative studio working environment. It will be used for selected media classes, workshops, special events, presentations and post-grad teaching.
