Mini animation spots capturing the momentum and vibe of Budapest were designed by MOME Anim students to promote the MyBudapest application. The animations feature several iconic locations, including Trafo, Toldi Cinema, Gellért Hill, and thermal baths, presented by the students using their own experiences.

The animations were commissioned by the developer of the application, Budapest Brand, and created by the students during a course launched in September 2023, using their own experiences related to institutions in Budapest offering a discount and included in the ÉnBudapestem app. The event guide app provides discounts for cinemas, theatres, baths, restaurants, permanent exhibitions, and concerts in Budapest, and is designed to enable the people of Budapest to rediscover their city and look at it with fresh eyes.

One animation features a dragon flying over the Buda Castle, another kufli-like creatures touring the attractions of the city, while a third fairytale creatures drawing young people out of the room and virtual reality into the open.

At the course, Angelika Galsi, Boglárka Gecse, Hanna Gollob, Eszter Győri, Erna Halmai, Orsolya Imre, Zsófia Jánosi, Kata Lakatos, Fruzsina Schwanberger, Ágnes Snekszer, Simon Szijjártó, Csilla Szőke, Kamilla Takács, and Viktória Tóth each created a 40-50-second spot each.

A stunning video illustrating the evolution of starspots over time on the surface of red giant XX Trianguli (XX Tri) has been produced by data scientists Ádám Radványi and Viktor Varga of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). Based on 16 years of observations, researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Astronomy Institute of the HUN-REN Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences reconstructed the changes in the cooler regions of the star’s surface, known as starspots. The MOME team translated these findings into an engaging data visualisation animation, making this complex phenomenon accessible to a broader audience.

What therapeutic effect could a beautiful virtual walk through nature or immersive gardening have? This is one of the questions explored by the Zenctuary VR+ project, led by Ágnes Karolina Bakk PhD within the FutureCare Lab at MOME, which has secured nearly 1 million euros in funding through the HU-rizont grant programme of the National Research, Development, and Innovation Office. Developed for healthcare facilities, this virtual natural environment aims to serve both rehabilitative and diagnostic purposes, improving patient care and the quality of life for the elderly, promoting recovery, and reducing the workload of healthcare professionals.

“It is a great privilege to continue my work as Head of the MOME Doctoral School, an institution synonymous with innovation, creativity, and excellence,” said Professor Ábel Szalontai upon accepting his appointment to lead the Doctoral School until 31 December 2025.
