Interaction Design and Prototyping for XR

Overview

Key facts

• Learn the skills you need to launch a career in aug­ment­ed real­i­ty and vir­tu­al real­i­ty design and prototyping.
• The Interaction Design and Prototyping for XR Micro­cre­den­tial at University of Alberta is offered in part­ner­ship with Cir­cuit Stream, an indus­try leader in Extend­ed Real­i­ty (XR) and Game Devel­op­ment edu­ca­tion. Learn how to apply design best prac­tices and pat­terns of design to immer­sive envi­ron­ments and XR applications.
• This begin­ner-friend­ly online pro­gram will give you a sol­id foun­da­tion in the the­o­ry and prac­tice of design­ing for aug­ment­ed real­i­ty (AR), vir­tu­al real­i­ty (VR) and mixed real­i­ty (MR) technologies.
• You’ll gain a sol­id under­stand­ing of usabil­i­ty con­sid­er­a­tions when design­ing for immer­sive expe­ri­ences, and you’ll be able to use indus­try-stan­dard tools, process­es and tech­niques for design­ing inter­faces and lay­outs. By the end of the pro­gram, you should be able to effec­tive­ly apply a range of XR devel­op­ment the­o­ries, meth­ods, and best prac­tices need­ed to cre­ate intu­itive and immer­sive user interfaces.
