Content
This unit is an experimental studio-based class allowing students to explore the use of new innovative technologies relating to interactivity, AR, VR, and virtual production in making animations or interactive pieces. Students get the opportunity to make use of these technologies in combination with skills they've gained elsewhere to create exciting and novel creative animation works. The main output of the unit is a major project responding to an open brief allowing students to develop their own interests within design, animation and interactivity.
