CAT Lab

The Commercial Arts & Technology (CAT) lab was formed as a partnership between the Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Research Center (RSESC) and the Department of Art, Art History & Design at UAH in order to better connect the university's commercial art programs with industry partners.  The lab is set up to leverage the commercial art capabilities of the Department of Art, Art History & Design with the technology, engineering, and software expertise of the Rotorcraft Center. We offer the following services:

Because of Huntsville’s combination of high tech, education, and military presence, the city is well-positioned to be a major player in the serious games and virtual engineering space. By having a local talent pool of students and professionals that can assist with classified and unclassified projects available for contracting or outsourcing, the CAT lab can help lower the barriers to entry or help quickly scale up for projects in this space while also being cost effective. RSESC has deep experience integrating with industry partners and has the tools and knowledge to make working with the CAT lab easy. If you would like to talk with us about your project, please reach out using the contact information below.

*Serious games include games aimed at education, training, health care, engineering, etc., and are a large and rapidly growing field. These products are developed using the same tools used to create commercial video games and can be intended for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), or traditional 2D screen.
