Promotion and Events SpecialistExtended reality (XR) is becoming more affordable as XR content offerings and applications expand, leading to projections of exponential growth both in demand for XR and the technology’s capabilities in the next few years. That also means more opportunities for those with the know-how to design visual and non-visual user experiences for 3D and XR interactions.
The Designing New Interactions: Non-Visual Interfaces & AR/VR UX Design in Unity program from NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering was developed to prepare UX designers to create user experiences for non-visual interfaces like voice, and interactive audio, and to use industry standard tools like Adobe XD, Reaper, and Unity to create high-fidelity prototypes of XR experiences that include visual and non-visual elements. As a participant, you can work to advance your career in UX design while building a design portfolio using these new and emerging technologies
The worldwide AR/VR user base is projected to reach 443 million by 2025.
As the use of haptics expands, the global market is projected to reach $40.9 billion by 2027, from $12.9 in 2020.
Unity is increasingly being used across a variety of industries, and powers 60% of all AR and VR content.
Explore haptics and the importance of feedback, as well as the use of haptics to generate realistic experiences in XR environments.
Learn key components of the audio user experience, including UX sound design (theory and practice), audio user flows, and audio moment mapping. Learn how to source, edit and place sound in your demos and prototypes, working in Adobe XD. Guest speaker: Sean Thornton of Audio UX.
Explore ambient computing, conversation design, mixing and rendering sound design, and using sound design to enhance user experience. Guest speaker: Eric Seay of Audio UX.
Get an introduction to the Unity game engine, and experience prototyping using this industry standard tool.
Use Unity to create storyboards for an XR experience of your own design, block out key moments and UI elements, and prototype the core interactions in your experience.
Refine your Unity design by setting up an art pipeline, generating production assets, replacing UI Elements with more refined pieces, and test, reinforce, and complete your XR experience.
Learn about documenting, presenting, distributing and marketing your product, as well as payment methods and getting your product reviewed.
