ARCH 1510 - Introduction to Virtual and Augmented Reality


     
Summer. 3 credits. Student option grading.

Satisfies departmental free elective credit for B.Arch. students. Satisfies the Visual Representation or “any other ARCH class” for the architecture minor. Cannot be applied toward B.Arch. Visual Representation concentration.

Staff.

The burgeoning Virtual and Augmented Reality technology is changing the design, visualization, and communication process in architecture. In this course, we will explore Virtual Reality as a tool for both spatial design and immersive representation through hands-on design projects. Students will try out Virtual Reality applications, grasp technical knowledge about AR/VR, learn how architectural design is taking advantage of it, and practice implementing virtual experiences within game engines. By the end of the course, students will perform spatial studies and generate a spatial design with the help of VR technology, and will create an application to present the design in VR space.
