Overview

Technologies and applications that create connected and immersive digital experiences have become viable tools to bridge gaps in location and imagination.

The ability to create and deliver interactive simulations that add information to how we perceive the real world and immerse us in simulated ones creates innovative opportunities to increase understanding, take part in experiences and solve problems.

Students are taught the development tools used to create VR and AR experiences and the gamification techniques that make these experiences engaging when applied to applications such as smart cities, training, medical, engineering, military and education.

Virtual Reality degree students will learn to utilize head-mounted displays as well as tactile and tracking systems that deliver immersive experiences. In relation to AR, students will learn to layer and link digital information to live views of the real world.

Equipped with these skills, graduates of University Of Advancing Technology's Virtual Reality program are prepared to apply established techniques of software development, gamification, human interaction and user experience as experts in the emerging technology fields of VR and AR.

Degree Objectives

Create the designs, assets, scripting and programming needed to effectively realize fully interactive and engaging virtual reality worlds.
