Academic Level
Our relationship to the digital world has changed. No longer differentiating between our on and off screen experiences, social connections, or IRL/URL spaces, we've crossed a threshold where the 'real' and the 'virtual' are almost indistinguishable. In this studio, we will use an expanding array of Extended Reality (VR/AR/MR) technologies - spatial sensors, photogrammetry, motion capture, computer vision, and displays - to interweave the digital and the physical. Through hands on research with emerging technologies, students will imagine new ways of making using mixed reality as a creative toolset. Students will work in ArtCenter's Immersion Lab and be introduced to prototyping for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality using Unity.
