APPROACH
Theoretical/project based

The project lab brings students knowledge in game design to an advanced level through the understanding of contemporary techniques and technologies related to Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. Throughout the course the programming skills studied in the previous term will be revisited and furthered.

The programme consists of one single module, which grants 6 credits.

Successful students will be able to:

• Identify the main techniques and uses of Virtual and Augmented Reality

• Perform critical analysis of existing projects

• Develop interactive and game experiences based on a project brief

• An introduction section is dedicated to the understanding of game design in Virtual and Augmented Reality environments

• Subsequently, individual practical exercises foster the practical learning of the fundamentals of VR game design and AR games

This is a theoretical/project based course.

The students will take part in the following activities, which may vary depending on the development of different projects:

• Classroom lectures

• Use of tutorials, videos or other media tools

• Exercises and revisions

• Workshops

• Individual or group projects

• Individual or group study and research

Assessment tools may include:

• Completion of a project

• Oral exam

Further details about the exams will be provided by the professors.
