Course Description

This course will prepare students with the skills to design and create an interactive multimedia project with augmented reality capabilities. In addition, this course will cover a variety of issues and approaches in regard to educational programming using interactive media. The potential for use of new technologies for effective communication with various audiences will be examined via related literature, field observations and critiques/assessments. Introduction to interactive media authoring software. Topics include interface, animation, interactivity, defining properties, creating and modifying objects, integrating media files, and publishing for a variety of formats. Students will author and publish interactive applications demonstrating basic competency with an interactive media authoring environment. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Experience, use, and test exisiting AR applications Create a database of successful AR aplications Create 2D/3D assets for AR projects

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Students will be given an opportunity to experience augmented reality applications and to discuss their findings. They will critique various applications and present alternative solutions.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Students will write essays about the background and current state of the art of augmented reality (AR) hardware and software. Problem-solving skills will be demonstrated when students troubleshoot their application designs and test for quality control and user experience. Students will demonstrate their ability by creating functional software applications and user interfaces that make effective use of AR technology.

Eligible Disciplines
