Overview
Immersive Media Studio explores how emerging and mobile technologies are central to how we engage in participatory practices of creating, communicating, collaborating, and circulating stories. The goal is to understand better how these technologies work, in what ways they afford new means of communicating and sharing information, what structures of control and power they embody, and how they might work differently for people in different contexts.
This is a project-based course that encourages creative exploration within the space of Immersive Technology. Much like a hackathon, students will work on experimental projects over short periods of time and will learn through discovery and sharing their findings with others.
Key learnings
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Analyze novel technology and understand its uses and limitations
- Design immersive experiences using a variety of technologies
- Build, deploy, and test applications on immersive hardware
- Discuss and share processes for development with immersive technology
These skills will benefit you in future technical/creative courses and prepare you for work or advanced study in fields that rely on cutting-edge technologies.
You are encouraged to consider your own learning goals for this semester. Write them down and periodically check to see if you are working towards them.
