What’s the class about?
The goal of this course is to introduce the fundamental elements of concept creation, team collaboration, and technical skills necessary to create augmented reality (AR) experiences. You will explore what exactly makes an AR experience and how AR offers new ways to create immersive and interactive narratives.
This class has the vibe of a creative studio and a research laboratory rolled into one. The work you will do will be mostly project-based and you will be working a lot in small teams.
We’ll bring in guest speakers who are working professionally in immersive technology and you’ll leave the class with the skills and experience to create your own projects with AR.
