Research at CAMERA is underpinned by academic and partner expertise in Computer Vision, Graphics, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and AI. This is complemented by additional expertise – health, rehabilitation, biomechanics, sport performance and psychology – which allows us to maximise impact in wider areas which would otherwise not be possible. Leveraging this expert basis, we work with partners to generate impact and translate our research and technology across three themes: Creative Science & Technology, Digital Health & Assistive Technology, and Human Performance Enhancement.
CAMERA builds on and extends existing impactful relationships between leading researchers at the University of Bath supported by investment from the University, from external partners and with the close participation of Bath’s EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE) and UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Accountable, Responsible and Transparent AI (ART-AI).
Support comes from EPSRC’s Next Stage Digital Economy Centre Programme as well as from 27 partners across the creative industries, sport, healthcare and engineering. CAMERA conducts first class multi-disciplinary research that fuses visual computing, AI and human-computer interaction (HCI) with healthcare, rehabilitation and biomechanics. We also have a strong focus on developing people, bridging the gap between postgraduate researchers and established academics.
CAMERA has research facilities at both the University of Bath and The Bottle Yard Studios, Bristol. These include high-end motion capture, digitisation and instrumented gait analysis – with future developments to include volumetric capture and virtual production. In addition to research collaborations and commercial projects, CAMERA’s additional support from the European Structural Investment Fund (ESIF) enables us to provide assisted support to regional businesses, including access to high-end motion capture and instrumented gait analysis – democratising access to state of the art technologies to companies of all sizes.
Through our research expertise and facilities, our mission is to generate world class multi-disciplinary research, impact, innovation and awareness of motion based technologies for animation of digital content for virtual and augmented reality, avatar animation, training simulation and motion analysis for healthcare assessment, prevention and treatment of motion based conditions and development of next generation rehabilitation solutions for physical and mental health conditions.
