Gaming / XR
Explore game design and extended reality, including VR, AR, and immersive experiences.
Dive into the latest XR technologies, learning to create immersive gaming and extended reality experiences for diverse platforms.
Gaming & XR - Objective
The primary goal of this course is to equip students with the technical skills and creative prowess needed to excel in the gaming and XR industries. Students will learn to design engaging games and create immersive XR experiences, preparing them for diverse roles in these rapidly evolving fields.
The Gaming/XR program at IISCAS offers a two-year immersive experience in game design and extended reality technologies. The first year focuses on game design using Unreal Engine, covering basics to advanced techniques in level design, Blueprint scripting, character design, and multiplayer game development. The second-year transitions to AR, VR, and XR technologies, providing in-depth training in developing immersive experiences using Unreal Engine. Elective specializations in advanced game, AR, VR, and XR development allow students to tailor their learning to emerging industry trends.
