Nicklodeon launches entertainment lab

Nickelodeon launches new Burbank-based Nickelodeon Entertainment Lab.

The forward-looking initiative will invest financial resources into research and development of new technologies and platforms that could eventually have an effect on the content that the studio’s artists create and how children experience Nick content.

Some of the “long-range” areas that are currently being investigated at Nick include real-time rendering, virtual cinema, virtual reality, augmented and mixed reality, and artificial intelligence. The resulting innovations will extend beyond broadcast, and could be applied to Nickelodeon’s businesses in live-action films, gaming, and theme parks.
