Immersive Tech

There is a lot to learn in our rapidly changing digital world. For all our study programmes, it is important to keep our knowledge of new technologies and developments in our field up to date, and to explore together whether what we teach is still relevant to developments in the field and in society. 
 
The School of Communication, Media and Information Technology (CMI) is developing a knowledge programme to share knowledge, experiences and insights among students and staff on the topic of Immersive Technology. In collaboration with (external) experts and other educational institutions in Rotterdam, we are experimenting and innovating with new technologies. 

The programme

• Monday 27 May 10.30 – 12.30 | Workshop 3D Modeling Advanced 

In this workshop you will learn more advanced techniques with the 3D modelling software Blender. This includes working with lighting, textures and rigging.  

• Thursday 30 May 13.00 – 15.00 | Masterclass (PEX) Immersive Expert 
  

During this masterclass, an external expert is invited to comment on an interesting student project. In this case, the focus is on the 'Platform for Empathic eXperience' project. In addition to the potential applications of the project, the impact and ethical concerns of immersive technology will be explored.  

• Monday 3 June 10.30 – 12.30 | Workshop VR Development in Unity 

During this workshop you will get started on producing a first application for a VR headset.  

• Monday 10 June 10.30 – 12.30 | Workshop AR Development in Unity

In this workshop, you will use Unity to create several Augmented Reality (AR) applications for an iOS or Android smartphone. For example, a face filter or a marker-based AR game.
