ATEC - ONLINE WORLDS LAB


All students need a recommendation from Monica Evans

Grads: 7390-003 | Undergrads: 4370-006

Meeting Time: Mondays 3:30-6:15

Description:
The Online Worlds Lab will develop immersive, multi-participant environments that support collaborative research, instructional, and creative projects. There are extensive possibilities for applied applications in research and education as well as exploration of the platform as a medium of expression. The project will take full advantage of the Motion Capture Lab and provide a practical and dramatic example of its extensive capabilities. This class also involves collaboration with students and faculty from The School of Engineering and Computer Science.

This interactive media technology lab explores the future of interactive art and technology through the development of distributed communities and social networks. A diversity of spaces may examined including the emerging social spaces in online worlds. Most importantly, new kinds of virtual interactions and their possibilities for cultural expression can be explored. The idea of the role of the creator / author / director / developer will be re-imagined as a designer of the nature of communication and interaction. The challenge is to structure what happens between people in meta spaces, and to design such spaces so that they are engaging and meaningful.

Students will work multi-disciplinary teams to develop experimental, forward looking multi-participant online spaces.
