ARCH 1510

Introduction to Virtual and Augmented Reality

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

The burgeoning Virtual and Augmented Reality technology is changing the design, visualization, and communication process in architecture. In this course, we will explore Virtual Reality as a tool for both spatial design and immersive representation through hands-on design projects. Students will try out Virtual Reality applications, grasp technical knowledge about AR/VR, learn how architectural design is taking advantage of it, and practice implementing virtual experiences within game engines. By the end of the course, students will perform spatial studies and generate a spatial design with the help of VR technology, and will create an application to present the design in VR space.
