Course Description

This course is aimed at experienced producers who would like to transition into the XR production space. During the one-day course, you will develop a foundational understanding of XR development, technology terminology, and the process involved in creating XR experiences for a range of platforms and headsets. This will cover production issues related to asset production and content creation, XR development platforms, current game engine technology, as well as gain an understanding of XR studio spaces and the relevant equipment.  
 
After this course you will understand the stages of an XR workflow, where decisions are made in those processes, key pitfalls and have a good understanding of technology terminology. To facilitate this, the course will be delivered in CCI-XR studios and encompass photogrammetry, LIDAR scanning, volumetric capture, motion capture, a SmartStage and modelling and animation tools or software.
 
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the core principles of industry-standard and developing XR production practice.
- Be able to appropriately discuss techniques and tools for different virtual production challenges.
- Identify future professional development opportunities in the context of emerging XR production pipelines.
