Hi I'm Marilyn Powers and I'm the
program coordinator for the Virtual
Reality Multimedia Production program
yeah the Virtual Reality Multimedia
program allows students to learn all the
components there is to learn about
virtual reality from modeling rigging and
animation to scripting and creating full
immersive environments using all of the
regular hardware that is used in virtual
reality whether you're using an HTC Vive
or an immersive cave
so one of the big program highlights is
the fact that we partnered with EON
Reality and they are a world leader in
creating a platform to create virtual
reality environments but also they've
created Academy to train people on how
to build virtual reality environment
students will learn how to use unity and
unreal simulation engines in order to
build out their models and make them
move and they'll also get a lot of
skills in 3d autodesk max and that is
used for the modeling they learn how to
deploy this on an iOS device or an
android device and will also bring in
virtual reality storytelling from our
multimedia programs and they'll learn
product management so how to build these and organize teams towards
launching a product
so there's lots of career options in a
wide variety of fields
so in gaming of course they use virtual
reality a lot and I'm starting to see
little entrepreneurial gaming places
pop up to building augmented training
solutions or operating solutions in a
variety of industries I've seen it
happen especially in the airline
industry
so students can come to this program
from a variety of disciplines quite
often people from computer science or an
engineering background because they're
used to doing modeling they're attracted
to this anybody from the multimedia
production & Media Studies is attracted
to this as well because a lot of it is
the storytelling and putting together
images coming into the program we just
ask that you have a diploma or a degree
and then we give you hands-on skills to
actually launch your career in virtual
reality
