They will be given the tools to conceive, plan and develop an interactive system and they will become aware of the importance of their role in the development of interactive media.
Phygital Fashion – Referring to a mode of artistic production and representation linked to immaterial and material culture, this course will use digital strategies and tools to create fashion outcomes that exist in both digital and physical spaces. Students will analyze and study social dynamics, emotional impacts, and new aesthetic forms activated by digital technologies, and explore human relations and identities, multiculturalism, sustainability, and the expansive field of fashion. Students will explore the use of technology for creating, prototyping, making, simulating, sizing, presenting, animating, digital printing, image making, and storytelling. In this course, students will learn advanced CLO 3D skills to create: customized avatars, customized trims and hardware; 3D virtual spaces; and animation. Additionally, students are encouraged to explore subjects such as gaming, the metaverse, and digital inclusion through modes of AR/VR; and by using programs like Style3D and Blender.
