Debuting on Fast Company\u2019s 2022 list of most innovative products, the DreamCube is an immersive reality platform featuring projection-based walls and floor with lightning fast tracking or interactive objects. It&#8217;s all that you want from VR without any of the nausea or sensory occlusion. We\u2019ll start with a few weeks of exploration on current immersive experiences, from projection-based \u201cVan Gogh\u201d experiences to participatory theater \u201cSleep No More\u201d experiences, and an orientation to the technical frameworks. At week four, working teams will \u201cpitch\u201d their concepts for building a DreamCube experience that is plausible for development within the semester. The rest of the semester will be development, testing and refining with class feedback before the final public presentation. Prerequisites: Working knowledge of Unity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will learn how to use the motion capturing and tracking technology and, conceive of a novel way to incorporate it into their own DreamCube experience. All students will present a case study\/inspiration of an immersive experience, then gather in groups to conceive and propose a concept, and then design and iterate their projects in the DreamCube environment. A public performance to present their completed experiences will be the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be a semester-long course, will contain critical discussion about spatial design experiences, weekly assignments, midterm and final demo presentation.&nbsp; Use of the Dream Cube rig will require travel to the Local Projects studiosat 123 William Street, 8th floor in downtown Manhattan in lower Manhattan for most class meetings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a chance for students to create an immersive interactive experience through a new experience platform known as DreamCube.
