Academics

XR through Virtual Worlds:
NYU Tandon's Summer Program for Extending Reality Through Virtual Worlds introduces high-school students to the fundamentals of designing and developing augmented reality (AR) based video games that focus on telling choice-driven stories. Over the course, students will learn to create narrative-based games with engaging and interactive stories driven by rich stories that unfold in the real world via AR, and that emphasize players making choices and driving the narrative through blurring the boundaries between the virtual and real.

Format

On-campus

Program Details

UX and Session 3 of XR Can be bundled.

Coursework
Programs in Design and Digital Media focus students on creative practice, design research and multidisciplinary experimentation with emerging media technologies. These offerings purposefully explore ‘STEAM‘, combining artistic inquiry with scientific research and technological practice and tools. Students can develop innovative and creative design interventions in the form of digital products and services, or work on their UX technical skills with design software like Adobe CC and Figma to learn to develop prototypes and interfaces that show how their solutions will work. In the AR track, students will learn to create narrative-based games with engaging and interactive stories in which players make choices to drive the narrative, blurring the boundaries between the virtual and real.
