My initial idea was to create a fun, fantasy world out of my favorite spot in the city. I wanted to combine the realm of reality and imagination and have both in one frame. Here is my first 2d sketch from what I had in mind:

In this world, I imagined some kind of tiny, cheerful, stupid creatures that are dancing and taking care of the environment. First I drew them in 2d on my newborn cherry tomato plants to have an overview like this:

The first step, obviously was modeling this creatures in Blender and give them some kind of texture.

Then I imported them in Unity and some other assets from Unity asset store and the 360 video that I recorded and tried to play around and have fun and discover the software. Hope you enjoy as I did very much!

Parissa z:

Lecturer: [[Jörg Brinkmann]] 
Credits: 6 [[ECTS]], 4 [[SWS]] 
Date: Thursdays, 15:15 bis 18:30 
Venue: [[GMU:Performance Platform|Digital Bauhaus Lab]] 
First Date: Thursday, 14.04.2022, 15:15

==Description==
'''Critical XR Lab''' is a beginner module that offers an Introduction to the Unity game engine. The course will be taught in the Digital Bauhaus Lab, where participants will be able to experiment with different virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies and concepts.

'''The course will be taught in two phases:''' 
In phase one participants will be introduced to an overview of the Unity interface and different techniques (Lights, Skyboxes, Prefabs, Timeline, Animation) and technologies (VR headsets, 360 video, AR apps).
The learning phase will be accompanied by lectures and discussions that are focused on finding strategies for dealing with the possibilities and challenges of working artistically with Game Engines and VR/AR technologies. At the end of phase one, students will have created an experience with Unity.

In phase two students are challenged to reflect, discuss, rethink and rework their Unity experience, based on individual research and experienced insights. The course emphasises on artistic and opposing ways of working with XR concepts. It’s aim is to establish individual approaches to VR/AR; challenging new mediums that offer artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication.

==Recommended Requirements==
No previous knowledge of Unity or other 3D software is needed, but applicants should have access to a laptop and headphones.

==Criteria for passing==
