Immersive Media - an introduction

Immersive Media - an introduction

If you are interested in immersive media then this is a course for you! Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term for various immersive environments such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR).

The course will examine the key concepts of XR, its history, potential and current research in the field.

You will put theory into practice by conducting experiments with XR. For example, by making 360-degree videos, recording with binaural microphones and using 3D scanners/photogrammetry. There will also be orientation on the role of AI in XR environments. You will design and develop one or more immersive media prototypes on a given theme. Content and narrative will be adapted to the public/user journey. Avatars and interactivity can offer new artistic possibilities.

During the course, there will also be discussion of inclusion, representation and the ethical considerations of developing immersive experiences, as well as theories on presence and embodiment.

The course coordinator is the guest lecturer Valentin Malmgren, valentin.malmgren@uniarts.se.
