2.S972 Virtual Reality, Sound, and Cinema
Implications for storytelling and learning
The Future of Storytelling
Meeting at MIT, Classroom TBD, Fridays 1:30pm - 4:30pm
Students from MIT, Berklee College of Music and Harvard University will gather to explore the future of storytelling and learning through virtual and augmented reality. We’ll examine human perception and the senses, haptics, and embodiment: the ways in which we express and experience ourselves and others through many forms of media. We’ll pay special attention to 3D audio and psychoacoustics of sound spatialization. The class will develop hands-on projects in a lab setting and will learn how to tell stories interactively using 360-degree video and computer-generated environments. Students will get access to state-of-the-art equipment and visiting expert mentors.
Enrollment is limited.
