Nokia's donation complements Aalto's virtual production technology with, among others, a giant touch screen wall and mobile laser projectors, which can be used, for example, to create smart virtual sceneries and model experimental environments. 'Nokia's donation is a significant addition to Aalto's virtual production technology. It will enable us to provide new types of learning opportunities and research environments. The donation also includes a sound system, which we can utilise in sound design projects and events,' says Ari Kivimäki, Head of Partnerships at Aalto Studios.
Aalto University is offering researchers forced to leave Ukrainian universities due to Russia’s invasion the chance to continue their academic work at Aalto. The visiting researcher positions are funded by Aalto for a fixed term of one year in the university’s research areas. The positions offered will go to altogether about 20 researchers.
