Augmented Reality Course Proposal
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the history, process, and best practices of designing Augmented Reality (AR) experiences for mobile devices. AR is an interactive experience that combines the natural world and computer-generated content. It has gained popularity recently and is used in various fields: gaming, education, retail, tourism, healthcare, and advertising. Since the new digital technology strongly influences the industry, infusing AR into graphic education is necessary. Seeking new opportunities in design applications using AR benefit immersive environments and safe spaces for training and exploring. The structured design process will be introduced and practiced, from creative inquiry to user testing. Students will learn to create assets with various prototyping skills and art-direct scenes, building and sharing immersive experiences on mobile devices.
