Course Title: XR Development & Immersive Systems
Course Description:
This pathway trains students to design and develop interactive experiences for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) platforms.
Students gain hands-on experience in spatial computing, motion interaction, and immersive interface design, mastering both creative and technical problem-solving.
The pathway emphasizes the ability to prototype functional XR applications that merge real and digital spaces — preparing students for careers in immersive media, simulation, and technical design.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Develop immersive 3D environments optimized for VR and AR hardware.
- Program user interactions using C++ and Blueprint scripting in Unreal Engine.
- Integrate real-world sensors, tracking systems, and controllers for natural input.
- Design comfortable, user-friendly immersive experiences that consider ergonomics and accessibility.
- Deploy interactive XR prototypes across multiple devices and platforms.
Prerequisites: None (prior experience with 3D or game engines recommended but not required).
