Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Integrated & Immersive Multimedia - Limkokwing University College of Creative Technology

Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Digital
Integrated & Immersive Multimedia
[KP/JPS (KA6443) 10/10]

The programme is designed to meet the needs for advanced multimedia training and education in the new fields of immersive technology and augmented reality.

Virtual Reality (VR) is an environment that is simulated by a computer. Most virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced and experimental systems have included limited tactile feedback. This interactive technology has the potential to be used by architects, science and engineering researchers, medical training, the military, and the arts, entertainment and video games industry.

Immersive technologies and virtual reality are powerful and compelling computer applications by which humans can interface and interact with computer generated environments in a way that mimics real life sense engagement.

As 3D and immersive technology becomes more integrated and available for a wide range of applications. It requires well-designed user interfaces and innovative content for the next generation of computer games and integrated technology like mobile devices, distributed web systems and desktop applications.

Virtual reality will eventually be integrated into daily life and activity and will be used in very human ways. As we spend more and more time in virtual space, there will be a gradual “migration to virtual space,” resulting in important changes in economics, worldview, and culture. The design of virtual environments may be used to extend basic human rights into virtual space.

This programme focuses largely on interactive 3D environments in real and virtual spaces touching on subjects such as Augmented Reality, 3D Virtual Environments and 3D Visualization Techniques for production, manufacturing and conceptual art.
