Studio Immersive Technology
The studio Immersive technology focusses on creating immersive experiences for various disciplines such as education, culture, health care, design and engineering. Although 3D screens, virtual, augmented and mixed reality headsets have been around for quite a while, creating real effective applications remains a challenge.
In the studio we work with multidisciplinary teams for a wide range of research and industry partners to make those immersive experiences that make a difference. The student can choose what they want to learn; for example, they can go towards design and interaction or choose a more development centred track using game engines or 3D modelling. The studio explores 3D headsets, new technologies, body tracking sensors, facial recognition. The developers work in a game engine such as Unity with C# or Unreal with C++. All the research and development lead to immersive experiences that matter.
Example Project
One of the many projects Immersive Tech has worked on, was the biology experience for a secondary school. The school needed a VR app in which pupils could explore different organs in the human body. The team built a VR experience of a body-like museum you can explore the inside and where you can cut open virtual organs in VR to see what’s inside.
