Content
This online course combines Project-Based Learning (PBL) with Design Thinking methodology to teach international students the fundamentals and practical applications of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Students will work on real-world AR projects using iterative design processes, collaborating with peers from diverse cultural backgrounds. The course will use Unity, a popular game engine, to develop human-centered AR applications. Through the five stages of Design Thinking (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test), students will learn to create AR solutions that address real user needs.
