Course Detail: CAA503 - Virtual Reality Camp - Middle School
Experience life-like interactive animated holograms, and modify their aspects to create a virtual world. See 3D holograms using headsets, and manipulating interactive holographic screens. 3D print your models to make them interactive as well.
Through this intensive week, understand how emerging technologies are shaping the way we create, educate, and learn. This summer camp is a unique experience that will teaching new ways of visualization and interaction. More importantly, create your own worlds and those will be populated with funny characters and avatars.
The day will starts with model creation from 9 a.m. to noon. From 1p.m. to 4 p.m. we will experience immersive interactions through Virtual Reality Devices.
Replicate this experience at home as well using free software. Take home all your content on a flash drive provided to each student. Plan to bring your own lunch Monday-Thursday; Friday a pizza lunch will be provided.
