2. Photography, 3D Printing and VR technology
Laurea also has a selection of equipment broadens the spectrum of possible projects for the students. This selection can also help students familiarize themselves with modern technology that most people don't have at home. More information about specifics below.
Picture wall
The picture wall is equipped with professional-level photography equipment, which can be utilized for content creation, including pictures and videos, for various types of projects. Workspace users can, for example, capture high-quality images and videos by adjusting exposure, tone, and brightness, and by utilizing a neutral canvas as a background.
The picture wall offers its users an opportunity to plan, create, and publish high-quality content for school and customer projects. Even if picture wall users don't have prior experience with photography equipment, the Digital Living Lab’s picture wall is an excellent way to practice and enhance their skills.
