This seminar week explored the creation and exploration of immersive design. Immersive design describes a spectrum of user interaction, guiding us to become thoroughly engaged and absorbed within a particular spatial experience. In this seminar week, students learned to design immersive spaces by skilfully selecting acoustic and visual elements that blend seamlessly. Students learned to design with game engines and simulate acoustic spaces to create unique atmospheres in virtual landscapes.
At the heart of our seminar week was the Immersive Design Lab, a space where imagination and technology meet. Here, we used the power of immersive acoustics and floor-to-ceiling projections to bring our virtual creations to life.
Parallel to learning how to design immersive spaces, students joined two excursions in Zurich, one to experience the acoustics of the Tonhalle and one to enjoy a VR gaming experience. A lecture series of leading researchers and artists in acoustic design and immersive design accompanied the seminar week.
