Building Virtual Worlds' is one of the required courses during the first semester at the Entertainment Technology Center. The goal of this class is to take students with varying talents, backgrounds, and perspectives and put us together to do what we could not do alone. Everyone shares in the mechanical creation of the worlds. We used 3D modeling software (Maya/3ds Max), painting software (Photoshop), sound editing software (Adobe Audition & Pro Tools), and Unity3D, to display our virtual reality worlds. The course uses unique platforms such as the Head-Mounted Display and Trackers, Microsoft Kinect, Touch Screens, camera-based audience interaction techniques, Motion Capture, among others. The annual BVW Festival is the culminating event that showcases the best worlds throughout the semester in a live theater production.
