The Interactive Media Division presents a broad and deep curriculum, exploring the methods and technologies that are shaping art and entertainment today. Located within the world's first film school, the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, the Interactive Media Division (or "IMD") provides leading edge research and a hotbed of ideas for future professional storytellers. It is the only program of its kind tied to a cinema-television school and, as such, offers unprecedented opportunities for students to explore media convergence in an environment that leverages the natural advantages of its Hollywood setting.
In parallel with the IMD curriculum (and closely integrated with it), the Interactive Media Division has an extensive program of research to design and develop innovative content for Interactive Media and to invent new genres of interactive experience. Currently, research is focused on three primary research areas: mobile media, game design, and immersive media. And even though each group is based in a state of the art research lab, many projects emerge from the intersection of these areas. The Division is also developing additional projects in the areas of Social Software, Computational Cinema, and Broadband Content.
