How 3D printing can help repatriate colonial artefacts

Posted on by
Brighton researchers are using 3D imaging to produce physical copies of artefacts, allowing visitors to study exhibits more closely than ever before.

These technologies can further help museums in repatriation efforts, without the need to hold on to artefacts that were taken away from their places of origin. The digital technology is being seen as a way forward as museums look to “decolonise” and repatriate artefacts “obtained” from their countries of origin mostly during the colonial era.

A fashion show with a twist

Posted on by

Students and staff from Computer Science for Games and Fashion with Business Studies degrees united to create a catwalk show like no other.

The cutting-edge virtual reality experience, entitled Fashion 360 VR, was developed over four months with the objective of providing an immersive new way to experience fashion students’ collections.

Via a VR headset, users could view a digital runway show featuring models displaying the students’ distinctive designs. The technology was available for visitors to use during the Graduate Show at the University’s City campus and was then on display at Graduate Fashion Week in London.

Gaining professional skills and broadening horizons

Posted on by

We caught up with final year Computer Science student Eric D’Addio who filled us in on his course, his final year project and life at Brighton.

What made you choose Brighton and this course?

I’ve always loved Brighton, and have always been good with computers and programming. Brighton has a great tech scene too.

How did you feel when you were first accepted to Brighton?

Very excited, I didn’t expect myself to ever really get to university. The course was pretty much as expected, maybe with a little too much maths and written formal logic thrown in (things I’ve always struggled with, despite doing well at programming), but the tuition and extra assistance from certain tutors pulled me through. I didn’t expect it to get so cold here in winter!!

 What were the highlights of your course?

Highlights have definitely been plentiful, best bits have been when we’ve been given free rein over something, like Saeed’s second year module of bit-shifting programming, it was great fun to get so low-level. And especially this final year – every project this year we’ve been able to choose our own focus and application, really good to flex the creativity unshackled. Read More →
