Students will learn how to design and develop complex interactive projects and understand how to undertake a comprehensive research and direct their thinking process from brainstorming to final outcome. They will be given the tools to conceive, plan and develop an interactive system and they will become aware of the importance of their role in the development of interactive media.

Students will explore the use of technology for creating, prototyping, making, simulating, sizing, presenting, animating, digital printing, image making, and storytelling. In this course, students will learn advanced CLO 3D skills to create: customized avatars, customized trims and hardware; 3D virtual spaces; and animation. Additionally, students are encouraged to explore subjects such as gaming, the metaverse, and digital inclusion through modes of AR/VR; and by using programs like Style3D and Blender.
