IMMERSE brings together expertise in immersive technologies, applications, and human experiences to perform research, educate a new workforce, and build infrastructure that will enable a new era of immersive computing
New Immersive Computing Track for MCS Program
The Siebel School of Computing and Data Science (SSCDS) is now offering a new Immersive Computing track within the Master of Computer Science (MCS) program. This track offers MCS students a unique opportunity to engage with the forefront of immersive computing through a thoughtfully designed set of courses.
Immersive computing promises the seamless integration of the virtual with the physical. It includes augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AR, VR, and MR), collectively extended reality (XR), digital twins, the metaverse, spatial computing, and earable computing.
Immersive computing is poised to change how we design, program, and interact with computing. It has the potential to transform most human activities, including education, healthcare, science, arts, crisis response, industrial design, manufacturing, maintenance, agriculture, retail, social interactions, entertainment, and more.
Yet, many challenges remain before we can achieve the full promise of comfortable, mobile, responsive systems that offer rich, collaborative immersive experiences. Learn how IMMERSE is addressing these challenges.
