Basic understanding of concepts of immersion.
Learn how to work with multiple layers of realities and obtain a basic understanding of immersion and presence. Gain practical skills in generating immersive experiences at the intersection of reality and virtuality.
In this lecture series, immersion in the context of bodies, spaces and environments will be discussed. The following national and international guest speakers are invited and will hold lectures:
Rasa Smite (RIXC Center for New Media Culture, Riga),
Daniela Mitterberger (Gramazio Kohler Reserach, ETH),
Selina Savic (Critical Media Lab, Basel),
Kurt Hentschläger (Immersive Artist),
Chris Salter (ZHdK).

The goal is to create immersive experiences in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and their combination by using the technology of the Immersive Arts Space. Participants will get to know practical methods, procedures and software, including 3D-scanning, photogrammetry, volumetric capture, motion capture, projection mapping. In small interdisciplinary groups, the participants will explore and combine different technologies and develop their own projects with a special focus on the intersection of reality and virtuality.
80% attendance and active participation.
For the practices, participants need to be aware that they will have to invest additional time between the seminar dates for advancing their practical projects and for learning basic software tools.
