Lectures on immersive technologies
Since 2014, research has been conducted at the Civic Interaction Design research group into Storytelling for VR, partly funded by SIA RAAK in the projects Storytelling for 360° media (2016 – 2018) and VR for Diversity (2020 – 2022). This has resulted in several VR experiences, a series of papers, numerous workshops and lectures, and a great deal of theoretical knowledge about VR and interactive storytelling. However, these presentations are often given at international conferences, and the knowledge remains within the research group. Therefore, we collaborated with the Minor Immersive Environments to bring together our insights on creating meaningful immersive experiences. We transferred this knowledge into three thematic Expert Lectures, which are intended as supporting material for MBO and HBO educators within this field. During the development phase, we have collaborated with industry partner StudioVRij and the educational networks OASIS and XR-lab, to gain feedback and make sure that the lectures suit their needs.
The lectures have been presented at a special event at the Treehouse at NDSM terrain, and are now publicly available for educators who want to add some extra background information to their lessons on XR development.
