Course/Module description:
"Future Realities" is a course of the Hebrew University, Bezalel and the Music and Dance Academy, with participation of additional art and design institutes, with support of the Jerusalem Development Authority, and cooperation of industry including: tel, Magic Leap, Lightricks, and more.
The appearance of new "reality changing" technologies, which place us within different worlds, modifying the world around us, and enable creation of new and familiar realities, is opening unlimited possibilities for applications, as well as raising question regarding their influence on humanity and human perception.
The course deals with these issues which lie in the border of the fields of science and technology and art and design.
The course will mainly focus on understanding novel aspects of XR (Extended Reality) technologies - VR/AR/MR (Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality), and additionally the course will expose the students to complementary topics such as Artificial Intelligence and technologies that enable creating a full multi-perceptual experience, such as EEG, 3D printing, interactive internet technologies, human-machine interfaces, sensors, etc.
The course is guided by Prof. Yair Bartal in collaboration with guest lecturers from academia and industry.
The main goal of the course is the creation of a joint art/design work by collaboration in an interdisciplinary group, where each student contributes from their own expertise.
The final projects are planned to be presented in an exhibition. Additionally, the best projects of the course will be given opportunities to participate in prestigious conferences and exhibitions.
Course/Module aims:
Exposing the students to advanced technologies and their applications through art and design, and create high quality projects.
