About the event

There's a lot more to AR and VR than gaming. Training simulations in immersive realities are one of the best uses of XR. They are used in the military, manufacturing and even in pro-level sports (F1 Sport Racing, Hockey and Golf just to name a few).

To create a good simulation in XR we need to know the audience, the industry, and the medium itself. In this free XR design lesson, your instructor and XR pioneer, Aleatha Singleton is going to show you on a practical case on how to research, ideate, and plan a conversion from a 3d game to the XR environment.

We will be looking to transform the PC game Car Mechanic Simulator into a VR experience.

You will learn how to collect ideas, perform a design analysis using a rose, thorn, system, and lay out a plan for an XR project.

This is a unique experience to see and learn how an expert XR designer tackles an XR design project from scratch.

The live webinar is free to attend and is suitable for all audiences. No experience is needed.
