Building Virtual Worlds

Fall 2011 || Building Virtual Worlds || Entertainment Technology Center

Building Virtual Worlds’ goal is to take students with varying talents, backgrounds, and perspectives and put them together to do what they couldn’t do alone. Students use 3D modeling software, graphics editing software, sound editing software, and Unity3D, to display our virtual reality worlds. The course uses unique platforms such as the Head-Mounted Display and Trackers, Microsoft Kinect, Touch Screens, camera-based audience interaction techniques, Motion Capture, and others. Building Virtual Worlds is a semester long program and consists of 5 Rounds, each round with its own objective and challenge.
