DAE-Research is the research cell of the study program Digital Arts and Entertainment, where both demand-driven applied research projects and applied research projects on its own initiative are set up. The research projects are oriented, to a large extent, towards transferring the knowledge of game technology to sectors other than entertainment and/or on exploring new game technology (hard- and software).

Besides entertainment purposes, game technology can be used in multiple ways: as an educational tool in the industrial sector, as a means to open up cultural heritage, or as an instrument to offer psycho-education in the social service sector or for innovative sports concepts.
