XR Technologies (15 cr)

Objective

The students are able to create XR applications for various platforms using game engines. They are aware of the opportunities and limitations of different XR technologies and ecosystems and are familiar with the future prospects of the industry.

Content

The students get acquainted with different XR technologies and environments through a project. During the course, the students will design and produce XR applications utilizing and supplementing previously acquired knowledge and skills.

- XR application design process: ideation, scheduling, project management, resourcing, and implementation
- Knowledge of XR technology
- Further development of 3D modelling skills
- Further development of game engine skills

Location and time

The course will have an 80% attendance requirement within our XR classroom. This can mean one remote day per week.

If you need a lot more flexibility to your attendance, consider alternative methods for completing the course.

Materials

All course materials will be posted on the Teams -channel created for this course.

Teaching methods

This is a project-based, hands-on course. You will design your own project, present your plan and receive feedback. Refine your project through critique and iterative evaluation. This includes Demo-Fridays for feedback for shared inspiration. There will also be daily progress presentations from students.

We will foster an atmosphere of collaboration and support with an effort to accommodate and welcome each member of our small learning community.

Lectures will provide introduction to the fundaments through examples. Lectures will be streamed and recorded. Most of the course is dedicated to independent project work. You will have some access to direct, personalized support from the senior lecturer in the classroom.

Individual one-on-one evaluation sessions are also incorporated into the course, tracking your progress and helping you to focus your aspirations towards building an actionable, professional career.

For the final presentation you will produce a video of your project to be viewed collectively, discussing and recognizing the efforts of each student.

Completion alternatives

If you are unable to join the course as a contact course at campus, you can complete it on your own. Please come to negotiate this separately with me!

From the course materials, you can see the goals and scope of the course. On your independent work, you won't have full access to the support you'd get from the classroom.

Requirement is a project video delivery similar to attendees. On top of that, you need to keep a developer diary listing completed tasks every day (include images) and track hours for each day.

1 credit = 27 hours.
5 credit course = 135h
10 credit course = 270h
15 credit course = 405h

Student workload

Attending the course, you're expected to work from 9:15 to 15:00 during weekdays.
