Course Description

In this course you will learn about a variety of low-entry high-impact tools which can be used to develop mixed reality applications. This will provide you with the skills and understanding required to apply these tools to create portfolios which can communicate your work. You will learn via a student-centred approach which uses a studio-based project along with the development of artefacts, presentations and reports. After completing the course, you will have gained analysis and problem-solving skills, an understanding and appreciation of the relevant technologies and an ability to communicate using language appropriate for these technologies.

Program Learning Outcomes
For more information on the program learning outcomes for your program, please see the program guide.


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Apply a range of mixed reality technologies to develop artefacts, applications and models to solve specific problems;
  2. Articulate and describe the features of a variety of mixed reality tools;
  3. Critically analyse and evaluate approaches to the development of mixed reality artefacts and applications;
  4. Communicate ideas, concepts and developments in mixed reality technologies in a professional manner.


Overview of Learning Activities

You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.

You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.

Working in groups, you will identify, discuss and devise solutions to practical problems using, for example, theory, research, experimental data and your group’s collective creativity.


Overview of Learning Resources

Wherever practicable, classes will be held in the Virtual Experiences Laboratory (VxLab) in Building 91, in order to facilitate access to equipment and expertise. Various software tools and technologies will be made available via the VxLab.

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
