Immersive Experience Design uses technology to craft experiences that keep people engaged over extended periods of time, while involving a broader range of our senses and emotions. Clients of the immersive designer’s craft include hospitals, retail companies, tech corporations, musicians and artists. Students in this class will learn how to apply an immersive designer’s mindset to a diverse range of opportunities and contexts.Projects in this class creatively explore different ways of combining virtual media with physical spaces and objects. This will include working with augmented reality, projection mapping, and other technologies that appeal to the human senses. Students will work with digital software and physical hardware, using technology to combine elements from both worlds.Lectures will examine the work being made by different immersive design companies, from the fantastical worlds produced by Meow Wolf to the more academic practice of a museum design agency. Workshops will help establish a framework for planning an immersive experience so students feel ready to design and craft their own unique experiences. This is an interdisciplinary class. Anyone that is curious about combining the physical world with digital information will find the projects of interest. Students are not required to know how to program or make complex physical objects. Experience with programming, designing in 3D, or making 3D objects are beneficial but not a pre-requisite for this class.Full course description + instructor bio here.
