XR Game Environments Track

The XR Game Environments track hones skills that focus on data-rich 3D documentation, rapid fabrication, and incorporating animation to tell architectonic stories in 4D. This track allows students to merge digital and real-world projects by utilizing powerful technology (LIDAR, advanced rendering), and environmental simulation (modeling and animation) to create augmented environments.

As a graduate of the BS Architectural Studies, XR Game Environments track, you can work in architecture and design firms as Design Technology Specialists, 3-D Assets and Resource Managers, Marketing and Visualization Coordinators, Digital Assets Directors, VR Specialists and Rendering Specialists, or as Visualization Consultants to community, government, and non-profit organizations. Classes and experiences empower graduates to combine high technological facility and specialized spatial language to feed the growing appetite to bring physical environments to digital life!
