About this Unit
Simulation in three-dimensional (3D) environments provide valuable insights to human-centred perspectives. Whilst investigating the fundamentals of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), students will analyse aspects of functionality, user interfaces, spatial relationships in built environments, sustainability, efficient resource management, instructional support for safety and training, and accelerated design conceptualisation in detailed new product, service or environmental innovation. Students’ experiences will equip them for future employment as VR and AR experience designers, interactive experience producers, or creative technologists.
