Designing disruptive experiences – VR, AR and Gamification!

Course Description

This course is ideal for educators and youth workers wishing to experience the creation of VR and AR applications on a practical level. Additionally, this course discusses gamification elements for making attractive simulations for students in the classroom and other learning environments.
The training starts with introducing what gamification is and how it works, followed a discussion on the eight gamified learning principles.

Participants will get hands-on and create simple video games using the Unity platform and experience what VR, AR, XR is all about with hands-on examples. The available VR and AR platforms and scenarios on which one will work best depending on the situation are discussed.
Finally, the course dives in the area of creating VR and AR experiences and testing them by using state-of-the-art equipment such as the Oculus Rift S.
