There are many IDM application videos on the web, and yours should not look like any of the others out there. We strongly encourage you to post this privately and share the password with us. Post to Youtube or Vimeo and share the link for viewing. We get many videos of people reading our website back to us, this is an opportunity for your personality to come through. Think of it as a extension of your portfolio and use your own voice. This may include faculty you want to work with and why, which of our courses are exciting to you, a project you're currently passionate about that you'd like to explore, or what labs or research activities spark your interest. We’d like to hear specifically what you might expect to do with your time at NYU. The one-minute video required for application to IDM is an opportunity for you to give us a stronger sense of who you are as a person. If you have materials online that you wish to use, please provide a PDF with a URL to your website. Submit a portfolio of your creative work as a PDF. The Mobile Augmented Reality Lab supports research into design modalities where digital experiences meet the physical world.The ABILITY Project supports research in client-centered, assistive technology and adaptive design for people with disabilities.Graduate students in IDM participate fully in research initiatives through our partnerships with other programs and schools at NYU Tandon, NYC Media Lab, the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), NYU, and other NYC institutions. Our faculty include leading artists, designers, developers and performers who passionately engage in professional work and research at the intersection of engineering and creative practice.

Our projects range from using motion capture technology to reimagine theatrical performance, to developing novel uses of virtual/augmented reality for health and wellness, to the integration of STEAM learning into special needs education, to the development of citizen science tools to empower NYC residents to monitor and report on noise pollution in their communities, to helping NASA JPL develop next-generation user interfaces for space exploration, to assisting with the search and visualization of the historical record of New York City. As a research-active program within NYU Tandon School of Engineering, IDM faculty collaborate in research that integrates digital media and society.

The Integrated Design & Media (IDM) program (formerly known as Integrated Digital Media) fosters creative practice, design research and multidisciplinary experimentation with emerging media technologies.
