Virtual Spaces and Design

Catalog description

Graphic Design and the implementation of moving and interactive media occur in many emerging forms in addition to traditional outlets we are familiar with. Spatial Design is used to create spaces such as exhibitions and retail outlets or to design stage sets in film and theater. Furthermore, designing virtual environments for games and interactive applications and even more immersive formats, including AR/VR/MR or XR, opens entirely new opportunities to redefine space as we know it. This course explores methods of layout in Graphic Design blended with 3D design and spatial layouts known from Architecture and will guide students to break up existing spatial limitations when designing virtual spaces that allow for different types of movement and orientation. How do we perceive, navigate, and experience those spaces?
