Discover how Extended Reality (XR) is transforming our world
From immersive experiences to providing simulation and therapy in health, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), collectively known as Extended Reality (XR), make it possible to go beyond the realm of what was previously thought.
On this course, you’ll explore the tools and technologies that support the features and applications of VR, AR and MR.
You’ll discover the basic concepts of creating VR, AR and MR experiences as well as the ethics involved in developing these kinds of applications. You’ll use published articles and hear from experts on how they’ve applied VR, AR and MR technology in their various fields.
Featured in the UK government’s The Skills Toolkit collection.
