VR Worldbuilding & Grant Writing (Virtual)

Welcome to the future. Industrial design, immersive theater, merging 2D and 3D worlds, motion capture, world building, game programming … all in Virtual Reality. If you haven’t experienced this, it is impossible to describe with mere words. This semester adds a unique new challenge: we will research and write a wide variety of education grant applications (federal, state, private organizations) to fund the acquisition of additional VR headsets and software for ROA, along with corresponding “proof of concept” curricular projects only possible with these game-changing new education tools.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Students MUST have their own Meta Quest 2, 3, or Pro VR headset to participate, and the ability to create online  accounts to download/install a wide variety of free world building and design tools. (Some tools require parent permission if children are under 13 years of age.) A minimum open space of 6.5 x 6.5 feet is required to use a Meta VR headset comfortably and safely.
