Before the Open House this spring, WOSU visited ACCAD and wrote this article to announce the event:

Ohio State's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design holds annual open house Friday Ohio State's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design holds annual Open House Friday

The 2025 ACCAD Open House took place on Friday, April 11th, from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, welcoming visitors from across the university and local community into one of the world’s first computer graphics centers. Guests explored our open labs, interacted with cutting-edge projects, and connected with the vibrant network of graduate students, faculty, and staff that make up ACCAD’s interdisciplinary community.

This year’s event featured a wide range of innovative work, including immersive planetarium media, 3D scanning applications, motion capture research, and both digital and analog game design. Attendees experienced virtual reality storytelling, interactive installations, immersive audio, and animations created by undergraduate and graduate students. Each project reflected the Center’s commitment to experimentation, collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of creative technology.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to making the event such a success. The Open House is always a highlight of the year—a moment to celebrate ACCAD’s ever-evolving landscape of research and design. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2026 for another exciting glimpse into the future of creative computation.
