DR. BC BIERMANN

In the not too distant future, people will consume a large portion of their information “in situ” and in the physical context that is relevant to the data that is being visualized. As such, there will be a widespread need for a synergy between technological developers and visual designers who understand this new situational mode of information delivery. It is in light of this coming need that this hands-on, project-driven curriculum centers on teaching students to build more traditional (3D, VFX) and emerging media (AR, VR, AI) deployments centered in well-researched intellectual concepts intended thoughtfully consider commercial value, artistic merit, and philosophical integrity.
