Open House - Gaming lab and 3D printer - Feb 7th

Digital Media Commons Open House: New Gaming Lab & 3D Printer!

Video games – how do they affect us and what can we learn from them?  That’s the question being explored in the newest feature in the Digital Media Commons in UNCG’s Jackson Library. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to see for themselves what the buzz is about on Friday February 7 at 3 pm in the Digital Media Commons (lower level, of Jackson Library) to explore the new Gaming Lab, which opened December 3.  While there, we invite you to see the new MakerBot 3D printer now being installed. 3D printing is the process of making a physical object from a digital file - enabling rapid prototyping of design concepts and functional, working models.    The Gaming Lab project was spearheaded by Associate Professor Gregory Grieve, and coordinated by Beth Filar Williams, Interim Head of the Digital Media Commons (DMC). The lab was realized with support from Lindsay Sabatino, Director of the Digital ACT Studio housed in the DMC, along with the financial support from the College of Arts and Sciences, Lloyd International Honors College, Undergraduate Studies, and University Libraries.
