Maria Lantin is the Director of Research at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and the Director of the Stereoscopic 3D Centre. For many years she has been joining her love of Computing Science with her belief in the innovative potential of the arts. A circuitous route led her from obtaining her PhD in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University to leading the Visualization Lab at the Banff New Media Institute, to developing the Intersections Digital Studios (IDS) at Emily Carr. She has had the joy of bringing to life many artist projects involving digital technology, and continues this practice at Emily Carr with collaborative and industry-partnered research.
