BA (Honors) Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality

Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality (AR & VR) is the bridge between the digital world and physical world. The AR uses a real-world setting while VR is completely virtual. Augmented Reality will add reality, projecting the information on top of what you are seeing. On the other hand, Virtual Reality replaces reality and will take the user to a simulated world. The objective of the programme is learning game design, image processing, digital design, sculpting, 3D design and modelling, 3D art, concept art, character setup & skinning, mixed reality technology and the application development for AR & VR.
