Item Value

Course Description

In contrast to traditional coding classes offered in Computer Science departments, this course offers a very basic-level overview and training in multiple coding languages specific to Immersive Media and Game Design, and only to the level needed to address typical programming challenges that may come up in the building of VR/AR and related projects using Game Engines. Coding languages and software taught will reflect only the current industry standards for Immersive Media (which often change), but may likely include elements of C#, C++, Javascript, Swift, XCode, AR Kit, AR Core, and Vuforia. This course is meant to be a 'primer', as a supplement to other Immersive Media courses, and not designed to teach any one coding language extensively. Enrollment Limitation: IMVR A210; students who complete FILM A226 may not enroll in or receive credit for IMVR A210.
