Course overview
The design paradigms associated with immersive media technology are in a constant state of experimental change. Adequate design choices not only provide users with comfortable immersive technology experiences, but also have the potential to impact platform dependency and technological applicability. In this course, students will form deep contextual understanding of the physiological and technological design paradigms associated with immersive media development. Through facilitated hands-on experimentation with various platforms, software frameworks and game-engines, students will form critical analysis of existing systems of design and develop new knowledge in relation to next-generation technologies.
Course learning outcomes
- Identify and analyse physiological response characteristics associated with design paradigm implementation.
- Demonstrate comprehension via the application of context specific design terminology within immersive media technology frameworks.
- Critically differentiate between HMD (Head Mounted Display/Device) technologies and software in relation to design implementation.
- Develop and formulate a feasible design brief incorporating design paradigm understanding.
- Categorise the benefits/shortcomings of immersive media technology platforms from a design understanding perspective.
