Other Linkages

There are many other groups around the State working in Visual Technologies and Digital Design.  Building further links with these groups is part of the purpose of the Centre, and will be a priority within the first year of activity.

Positive linkages have been established with

• University of South Australia
• School of Computer and Information Science
• Primary Centre Representative: Professor Bruce Thomas, Director of the Wearable Computer Laboratory
• The Entertainment Technology Center, Carnegie Mellon University
• Primary Centre Representative: Will Bosley, Adelaide Campus Director
• Kukan Studio
• Primary Centre Representative: Che Metcalfe, Managing Director
• South Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (SAPAC)
• Primary Centre Representative: Dr. Paul Coddington, Deputy Director
• The Australian Institute for Commercialisation
• “With the growing importance of digital media globally, South Australia has a great opportunity to leverage its local capabilities in this field through the initiation of a Centre for Visual Technologies, creating a world class technology centre.” - Simon Edwards, South Australian Manager
• SolveIT Software
• “South Australia has the capacity to become a leader in the digital media industry.   The Centre for Visual Technologies offers an opportunity to develop both the research and education programs necessary for this industry's success.” - Matthew Michalewicz, CEO
• The South Australian Film Corporation
• The South Australian Film Corporation and others (including The Entertainment Technology Center) are developing a proposal bringing together a number of participants in the film industry, some of which are also participants in the Centre.  The two proposals are independent, but the developments they represent would be mutually beneficial.
• Primary Centre Contact: Stephanie Ziersch
• SABRENet
• The improved connectivity between campuses offers obvious advantages to groups collaborating on projects based on digital content.
• Primary Centre Contact: James Tizard
• Benoy Limited, London
  • The cross pollination of ideas and technologies between the fields of film, computer gaming, simulations, architecture and interactive environments which such a centre could bring together is one which is full of potential and possibilities”. Basil Genimahaliotis, Senior Visualisation Designer
• The Research Network for a Secure Australia (RNSA)
  • Video surveillance is a key technology in the protection of Australian infrastructure against a variety of types of threat. The surveillance research carried out within the ACVT is particularly well suited to these applications.
• The Australian Homeland Security Research Centre
  • The members of the ACVT have used video processing technologies in a number of homeland security applications, including protecting Australian waters from illegal fishing by the analysis of video capture from unamanned aerial vehicles (in conjunction with DSTO and Coastwatch).
