COURSE
Are you ready to explore new technological territories?
In the Minor Immersive Environments you will be challenged to go beyond the screen and start experimenting with the design of digital-physical spaces.
Projection, sound, objects, people, sensors and interactive walls are just some of the elements that you will use to create Immersive Environments.
The techniques and insights that you will acquire during this extensive course may be used in museums, retail spaces, fashion shows, festivals, events, conferences or outdoor locations. For examples please check out this pinterest board: https://pin.it/6qw7vaF
Students from all studies are welcome. The course starts februari 2022. 30 ECTS.

Disco Projects:
During five weeks of disco(very) you will get acquainted with all kinds of software and technologies (such as touch design, arduino’s and projections mapping) and practice various skills that will be required to create interactive mixed reality installations. Every week there is a new sprint and assignment.
Storytelling for all Senses:
In this three week team project you will focus on environmental storytelling and Virtual Reality and experiment with ways to trigger more senses than just sound and vision. In the last week the installations will be tested and by presenting them to the NDSM community.
