From VR theaters and entertainment experiences to AR apps like IKEA’s Place, which allows you to virtually try out their products in your home, augmented reality and virtual reality are making their way into our everyday lives.
Developed by New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, this two-month program takes you beyond current interface design concepts and explores the new rules for how to apply these principles to AR & VR design—and puts you ahead of the XR curve.
The program is designed to provide UX Designers, UX architects, and product managers with an understanding of how to design UX for AR & VR technologies. Other professionals across industries who use or plan to use or implement AR & VR technologies will also benefit from the program.
