Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:

Demonstrate an understanding of the underlying technologies that enable XR.

Critically evaluate the available technologies and their suitability for different applications.

Build and run simple XR applications.

Brief description

Extended Reality (XR) which comprises of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) are exciting and relatively new technologies that will allow novel methods of interacting with a wide variety of Creative Industries datasets. This module introduces you to the underlying technologies that enable XR. It focusses on how to build and run simple XR applications, how they are used and what the future holds with emphasis on digital media. Starting with an introduction to XR using a broadly chronological approach, then the tools and techniques to build XR applications and finally how to develop your own original concept for an XR application.

Content

The module will make use of recorded lectures, guided reading and practical work. We will cover the following areas: -

List of blocks:
Block 1 – The underlying technologies that enabled XR and how they came together
Block 2 – Building and running simple XR applications using Unity XR API
Block 3 – Developing your own original concept for an XR application
