UX 3015 - Designing for the Digital Future

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The course focuses on designing for Extended Reality (XR), which encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). XR changes the way we think about designing digital interfaces because we are no longer constrained by two-dimensional (2D) space. And, the integration of virtual intelligence (VI)/artificial intelligence (AI) into VR, AR, and MR spaces has the potential to change the world by creating dynamic user interfaces and personalizing individual experiences through analysis of every user interaction. Additionally, the new paradigm of 3D content includes sound, touch, depth, and emotion and must be considered when designing these immersive experiences. In this class, you will explore emerging design patterns in 3D design, work towards creating new 3D design patterns and immersive interfaces, and understand the impacts of AI on 3D and user experience design. (prereq: UX 1400  or UX 1400H  and junior standing)
