Immersive Technologies

About This Course

Covering the fundamental concepts, tools, and applications, this module aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these technologies create engaging and interactive experiences by blending the digital and physical worlds. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and project-based learning, students will explore the technical aspects of developing immersive content, including 3D modeling, real-time rendering, and user interaction. Additionally, the course will examine the impact of immersive technologies across various sec-tors such as education, healthcare, entertainment, and beyond, highlighting their potential to transform everyday experiences.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the fundamental principles and concepts behind immersive technologies and their respective hardware and software ecosystems.
  • Develop the technical skills necessary for designing and creating immersive experiences, such as 3D modeling, animation, real-time rendering, and user interface design, with a focus on user-centered design principles.
  • Analyze and critically evaluate the application of immersive technologies across various industries, including education, healthcare, entertainment, and retail, to understand their impact, benefits, and challenges.

1: Generally all mandatory modules of a study program can be selected as an elective in all study programs in which they are not offered as a mandatory module. However, there are several rules that apply. First, at least half of the selected electives have to be taken from your study program. Second, all electives are only available in either odd or even quarters. Therefore, not all electives are available in all programs (given that you want to finish the program within the regular time frame and do not want to take that elective in parallel to your impact project.)
