This is the final course in the Texas Immersive sequence. The goal is to offer students a full semester to design and develop an immersive experience for the public, bringing together a strong grasp on audience engagement, novel approaches to storytelling, and affordances of emerging technologies. Together, through the language of development and through practice, students will work on a real-world client project for entry in an awards competition, conduct applied research in blending the physical and digital realms through sensory media, and gain a deeper understanding of the next wave of representation and reality through immersive experiences.
