MMAD Lab 360° Overview


The Viz and MMAD (Motion and Media Across Disciplines) Labs are amazing resources for faculty, graduate, and undergraduate student research, classes and creative exploration across the campus of UMD. Currently our labs are producing interdisciplinary research and videos for online learning in fine arts, journalism, exercise science, mechanical engineering, computer science and others within the UMD protocols of COVID 19. 

The MMAD Lab (Bohannon 24) is a motion capture and high definition video production studio that offers unique opportunities for interdisciplinary research and creative activity, including ergonomic design, gait analysis, 360 video and virtual reality. This studio is equipped with a multiple camera shoot studio, green screen (cyclorama), studio lighting and sound booth.
