Virtual Reality is the next big step in 3D Creation. Students can now enter virtual reality and create 3D objects and sculptures that can be exported and printed! This course will teach students how to use the Oculus Go to sculpt objects in an immersive VR environment, export the files and then make the files emerge into the real world by printing them. When creating in VR, the experience is so fluid and seemingly more organic in the way objects are created. Bringing this to the classroom will really engage your students as they learn the next revolution in art, and sculpting to prepare them for careers that may not exist yet! This course is for any educator as the skills learned can be used for any content area.
Oculus Go Standalone VR headset included in the tuition. Students will need access to a 3D Printer.
