SCET

Established in June 2008 and located within Glasgow's Digital Media Quarter, The Scottish Centre for Enabling Technologies (SCET) aims to help Scotland's creative companies explore and exploit the latest technologies in the development of new/existing products, services, systems and knowledge. Funded by the Scottish Governments SEEKIT programme, Scottish Enterprise and our university partners, the centre strives to increase the sustainability and competitive advantage of Creative Industry companies across Scotland by building lasting links with the Scottish universities knowledge base. We pride ourselves on our impartial free support and guidance as well as the success of our highly attractive 'Feasibility Study' grant funding. The expertise of the centre staff combined with that of our university partners spans a wide range of technologies, processes and business models including computer games, animation, virtual reality, interactive digital TV, video on demand, digital content publishing, archiving, search, database, business intelligence, GPS, web-based technologies, social networking, wireless/mobile technologies, 3D visualisation, 3D sound, speech recognition, haptic (touch) technology, gesture-based interaction and camera-based tracking.
