Teaching and Learning Methods
AR/VR education may use:
- programming laboratories;
- 3D graphics exercises;
- game-engine workshops;
- modelling and animation;
- device laboratories;
- user-experience studios;
- prototyping;
- group projects;
- industry case studies;
- hackathons;
- internships;
- research seminars; and
- capstone projects.
Practical access to devices is important, but students can also learn many fundamentals using desktop simulations and mobile AR.
