Nokia research laboratory has been established in the Hollywood. Nokia
Research Center Hollywood will work with members of the media &
entertainment industry including new technology companies and creative
talent, together with leading universities in the region to drive
long-term research activities to further strengthen Nokia's leadership
position in the convergence of internet and mobility.
"Hollywood
has an enormous variety of academic institutions, innovative media
businesses and unique creative talent. It offers exactly the right
ingredients for research into topics that will be vital for Nokia's
business in the future. The link with the movie industry is naturally
strong, however the entertainment concepts we will be working on at the
NRC Hollywood laboratory are even more diverse. The laboratory will
explore new entertainment experiences that combine the physical and
digital worlds. Our research work will focus on mixed reality
experiences, with a strong community flavor. We will develop new user
interfaces that fully explore the role of the human body and human
motion for more natural forms of interaction. Mobile devices will play
a central role in this," commented Rebecca Allen, Laboratory Director
of NRC Hollywood.
