The field of creative technology encompasses art, <a href="/facts/Digital_product_design/uUYfF0M4">digital product design</a>, digital media or an advertising and media made with a software-based, electronic and/or data-driven engine. Examples include multi-sensory experiences made using <a href="/facts/Computer_graphics/lapBE8wv">computer graphics</a>, <a href="/facts/Video_production/ddNBwkGJ">video production</a>, <a href="/facts/Digital_music/PgugcLAI">digital music</a>, <a href="/facts/Digital_cinematography/s0raSbgw">digital cinematography</a>, <a href="/facts/Virtual_reality/0psDGsxT">virtual reality</a>, <a href="/facts/Augmented_reality/xQk3nd1z">augmented reality</a>, <a href="/facts/Video_editing/VoWFUpIE">video editing</a>, <a href="/facts/Software_engineering/KX6cE9kz">software engineering</a>, <a href="/facts/3D_printing/lbvWU3t0">3D printing</a>, the <a href="/facts/Internet_of_Things/rwwGAxn3">Internet of Things</a>, <a href="/facts/CAD/5gSXrmmN">CAD</a>/<a href="/facts/Computer-aided_manufacturing/gqYHXcK9">CAM</a> and <a href="/facts/Wearable_technology/HBSY4P0x">wearable technology</a>. </p><p>In the artistic field, <a href="/facts/New_media_art/8zcSxbot">new media art</a> and <a href="/facts/Internet_art/NfXs3cuf">internet art</a> are examples of work being done using creative technology. Performances, interactive installations and other immersive experiences take museum-going to the next level and may serve as research processes for humans' artistic and emotional integration with machines. Some believe that "creativity has the potential to be revolutionised with technology", or view the field of creative technology as helping to "disrupt" the way people today interact with computers, and usher in a more integrated, immersive experience. </p>
