APPROACH
Theoretical/project based

The project laboratory takes the teaching of game design to an advanced level, through the acquisition of the most contemporary techniques and technologies in the fields of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. During the course, the notions of programming acquired over the previous semester will be reviewed and deepened.

The programme consists of one single module, which grants 8 credits.

Successful students will be able to:

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

• Carry out critical analysis of existing projects

• Design and implement interactive and recreational experiences based on the project concept

• A general, introductory section is devoted to the understanding of game design basics within augmented and virtual reality

• Individual, practical exercises support the practical and theoretical learning of the foundations of VR game design and augmented reality games

• Introduction to the media and practices that are related and integrated into the subject, through group work

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
