| This hands-on project-based course centers on advanced simulation environments, including their development, evaluation, and importance in contexts ranging from education, health care and emergency response, exploration and mission planning, and entertainment. Understanding the objective of simulation will involve information gathering, problem exploration, and analysis of complex problems. The emphasis of this course will be on the effective design and integration of diverse elements. Practical and theoretical applications of these will include: mobile, virtual, augmented, mixed, and extended reality simulation; storyboarding and narrative development; collaborative participatory design; modeling methods; and a variety of human-computer interaction (e.g., affect and context aware systems) and learning science methodologies. |
